Jiangsu Province is the second largest economic province in China. GDP output is second only to Guangdong Province. It can be said that it is as rich as any other country! There are 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province, which are usually divided into two regions: Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu. If subdivided, they are divided into three regions: Southern Jiangsu, Central Jiangsu , and Northern Jiangsu! Last year, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Natural Resources released the Jiangsu Provincial Land and Resources Planning Outline. This outline is valid from 2021 to 2035! In this outline, Jiangsu Province has divided into three main urban areas. These three main urban areas are the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou urban area, Nanjing urban area , and Xuzhou urban area . Of course, these three urban areas The circle does not include all prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province. In addition to these three major urban areas, it also divides two important economic zones. Today, we mainly talk about these three urban areas!

No. 1, Suzhou-Wuxi-Chang metropolitan area

From a geographical point of view, the definition of Suzhou-Wuxi-Chang metropolitan area is more focused on the southern Jiangsu area in the traditional sense, because Suzhou , Wuxi , Changzhou are all located in The southern Jiangsu area has an advantageous geographical location, surrounded by Taihu and sitting on the Yangtze River, and Su, Wu and Chang have always had a close brotherhood! This division identifies Suzhou as the main force. Subconsciously, people can't help but think that Suzhou should take a step back. Compared with Shanghai and Suzhou, the combination of Su, Xichang and Suzhou seems to be more indestructible, and Suzhou is also the team leader of course! Su, Wuchang and Chang gather together the most advantageous geographical conditions in Jiangsu Province, and are also the richest areas and one of the most economically dynamic areas!

This combination includes Suzhou, which ranks first in total GDP in Jiangsu Province, Wuxi, which ranks first in per capita GDP, and Changzhou, which ranks fifth in total GDP! The total GDP of Jiangsu Province in 2021 is 11,636.42 billion yuan, and the Su-Wuxi-Changzhou combination created 4,552.916 billion yuan, accounting for almost more than 1/3 of Jiangsu's total GDP. Therefore, the Su-Wuxi-Changzhou metropolitan area is of course the top metropolitan area in Jiangsu Province. It not only dominates The southern Jiangsu region even dominates Jiangsu!

The second place is Nanjing Metropolitan Area

Nanjing is located in the central area of ​​Jiangsu Province. Its jurisdiction spans the Yangtze River. It is the economic center city of in the central region of Jiangsu Province! There are three core cities in the Nanjing metropolitan area, with Nanjing taking the lead, Zhenjiang , and Yangzhou joining the game! The Nanjing Metropolitan Area, located in central Jiangsu Province, is the second largest economic group in Jiangsu Province. Last year, the three members of the Nanjing Metropolitan Area created a total GDP of 2,781.518 billion yuan!

The third place, Xuzhou metropolitan area

Xuzhou , is an important industrial base in Jiangsu Province and a transportation hub in northern Jiangsu. It is also a famous historical and cultural city with profound historical heritage! Although the Xuzhou metropolitan area seems a bit isolated! But in fact, Xuzhou is indeed the economic center of northern Jiangsu, playing a pivotal role in the economic system of the entire Jiangsu Province, and it is calm and low-key! Xuzhou City, last year's total GDP was 811.744 billion yuan, ranking sixth among the 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province!

and above are the specific divisions of the three major metropolitan areas in Jiangsu Province. From a geographical point of view, the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou metropolitan area may dominate southern Jiangsu, the Nanjing metropolitan area will dominate central Jiangsu, and the Xuzhou metropolitan area will dominate northern Jiangsu! The establishment of the three major metropolitan areas and the two major economic belts has enhanced the cohesion among prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province, pointed out the direction for the development of the provincial economy, and made the goals clearer!
