Chinanews, Beijing, Apr.2 - In a recent article, two scholars predict that in future, ten city groups will take shape in China. The city groups will cluster around the following ten areas: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta1 region, the Pearl River Delta region, Shandong Peninsula, the middle and eastern part of Liaoning Province, the central part of China, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, area along the west shore of the Taiwan Strait, Chongqing and some other cities in Sichuan Province, and the middle part of Shaanxi Province. The ten city groups will become the driving force to push up the national economy.
The article was published in the China Economic Herald2 and written by Xiao Jincheng and Yuan Zhu，two scholars from the Land Exploitation and Regional Economy Research Institute at the State Development and Reform Commission. During the 1990s, economy developed fast in the Yangtze River Delta region, Pearl River Delta region and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area. As economy grew rapidly in these regions, their economic scale also began to account for an increasingly larger proportion of the national economy. The three regions are, and will continue to be the engines to boost the national economy for the next twenty years. The city group in Shandong Peninsula includes Yantai, Weifang, Zibo, Dongying, Weihai, and Rizhao, with Jinan and Qingdao being the centers. The city group in the middle and eastern part of Liaoning Province includes Anshan, Fushun, Benxi, Dandong, Liaoyang, Yingkou, Panjin, and Tieling，with Shenyang and Dalian being the centers. The city group in the central part of China is formed with cities of Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, Luohe, and Jiyuan, with Zhengzhou and Luoyang being the centers. The city group in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River includes Huangshi, Ezhou,Huanggang, Xiantao, Qianjiang, Xiaogan, Xianning, Tianmen, Suizhou, Jingmen and Jingzhou in Hubei Province, Xinyang in Henan Province, Jiujiang in Jiangxi Province, and Yueyang in Hunan Province, with Wuhan being the center. The city group along the west shore of the Taiwan Strait includes Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Putian and Ningde, with Fuzhou and Xiamen being the centers. The city group in Sichuan Province includes 14 cities including Chongqing, Chengdu, Zigong, Luzhou, Deyang, Mianyang, Suining, Neijiang, Leshan, Nanchong, Meishan, Yibin, Guang’an, Ya’an, and counties located in the West Sichuan Economic Belt, with Chongqing and Chengdu being the centers. Finally, the city group in the middle part of Shaanxi Province includes Xianyang, Baoji, Weinan, Tongchuan, and Shangzhou, with Xi’an being the center. The land area of the ten city groups accounts for 9.99% of the national territory and their population accounts for 35.02% of the total population in China. However, they contribute to 52.83% of the country’s GDP. In other words, while the ten city groups occupy less than one-tenth of the national territory, they sustain the life of more than one-third of the country’s total population and contribute to over half of China's GDP. |
