Look at Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration ①: Strategic Orientation of Global Vision. Economists assert that the basic unit of international economic competition in 2 1 century is not enterprises or countries, but urban agglomerations. The division of labor, cooperation and competition among urban agglomerations will determine the future world economic and political structure. Under the new situation of economic globalization, building a strong urban agglomeration will be the key to win fierce international competition. Shandong Peninsula is such a rising urban agglomeration. Doing a good job in the construction and development of Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration, making it one of the most economically dynamic areas in China, is a major strategic move made by the provincial party committee and government in the new century, which has far-reaching significance for enhancing the competitiveness of the whole province and realizing the leap-forward development of Shandong. With the "Research on the Development Strategy of Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration" passed the provincial demonstration, the strategic planning map of Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration, which people have heard from time to time but are difficult to understand in detail, finally has a more detailed version.
However, in Shandong's regional development blueprint, the word "Peninsula Urban Agglomeration" is given, which is neither the concept of physical geography nor the concept of administrative division, but refers to "the urban belt consisting of eight cities: Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Rizhao, Dongying, Weifang and Zibo". Along the Shandong Peninsula and Ji Jiao Railway, these eight cities have infiltrated into a large-scale urban chain. At the same time, various economic zones and quite a few well-known enterprises are closely attached to this urban chain, forming a spectacular manufacturing industrial belt. This is the most densely populated and productive area in our province. The advantages of this region largely reflect the advantages of Shandong.
