Analysis of Impact of Urban Agglomeration Planning of Middle and Lower Yangtze River on International Trade Development in Central China

Abstract

After implementation of strategy for promoting the rising of Central China, central China seizes opportunities and forges ahead. In order to promote international trade development in the central region, implementation of urban agglomerations of middle and lower Yangtze River shall be vigorously promoted, aiming at promoting its commercial development. Through analyzing urban trade factors affected international trade development in the central region, this paper summarizes advantages, opportunities, achievements and prospects of international trade development of urban agglomeration. Current situation of urban agglomerations of middle and lower Yangtze River Urban agglomeration of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is super-huge type urban agglomeration, covering Wuhan urban agglomeration, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration, Poyang lake urban agglomeration, which is one of support of three big cross-regional urban agglomerations in Yangtze River Economic Zone. Of which urban agglomeration in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River with Wuhan, Changsha and Nanchang as center is key area for implementing strategy of promoting the rising of Central China, deepening reform and opening up in an all-round way and promoting new-type urbanization and occupies important position in pattern of reform and development of China. Urban agglomeration in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River connects Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River delta based on Yangtze River. Of which central position of Wuhan is about less than 300 kilometers from Changsha and Nanchang, where has large area with complicated terrain that is about several times as that of Yangtze River delta and Pearl River delta. In addition, high-speed rail let transportation more developed. Strengthen the center position of Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang has important significance for building key cities and promoting the rising of Central China. In 2015, the program of latest urban agglomeration points out China will classify urban agglomeration in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River and Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration as five urban agglomerations, which make a clear prospect of economic development of central China.
