As one of the most economically developed areas in China, the Yangtze River Delta has developed into one of the most important urban agglomerations in the world. In terms of population, the top ten cities in the Yangtze River Delta are: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hefei, Ningbo, Wuxi, Changzhou, Wenzhou and Shaoxing.
These cities have made remarkable achievements in economy, science and technology, culture and other aspects, and become an important engine for the development of the Yangtze River Delta region. However, there is still a gap in the development level of these cities. Population is only one aspect, which needs to be evaluated in combination with multiple factors such as economic aggregate and city size.
Among them, Nanjing, as the third largest city in the Yangtze River Delta, is slightly inferior to Shanghai and Hangzhou in population, but its development level in other aspects can not be underestimated. According to the overall land and space planning of Nanjing, the population of Nanjing will reach130,000 by 2035, which indicates that Nanjing will usher in a broader development space.
Different from Nanjing, Hefei has the reputation of China as a city of scientific and technological innovation, a star city and the most suitable city for human habitation, but the city scale has not reached the expected height.
In contrast, Ningbo's urban economic strength is more significant. Whether in the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure or in the degree of marketization, Ningbo has shown a strong competitive advantage, and its scientific and technological innovation and city scale are constantly improving.
