Which has a land area of 53,100 square kilometers and a population of 30.23 million at the end of 2008, accounting for 51.2% and 40.8% of Jiangsu Province, respectively. 1. Xuzhou City: 4 counties, 2 county-level cities, urban areas (Yunlong District, Gulou District, Jiu Li District, Jawang District, Quanshan District) Pizhou City Xinyi City Tongshan County Suining County Peixian County Fengxian County 2. Yancheng City: 5 counties, 2 county-level cities, urban areas (Pavilion Lake District, Yandu District) Dongtai City Dafeng City Jianhu County Lingshui County Funing County Sheyang County Binhai County 3. Huaian City: 4 counties, urban areas (Qinghe District, Qingzhou District, Lianyungang: 4 counties, downtown (Xinpu District, Haizhou District, Lianyin District) Donghai County Ganyun County Ganyu County Gunnan County The northern part of Suzhou is situated on the coast of the Yellow Sea with a coastline of 744 kilometers, facing Japan and South Korea across the sea, and is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, which is in the southern part of the Yangtze River Delta region, with Shanghai as the leading city. It is located in the Yangtze River Delta region with Shanghai as the leader, in the important position of going south and north, going east and west, and is an important part of the national coastal economic belt. North Jiangsu is in the Huanghuai Plain and the transition zone of the Jianghuai Plain, the terrain is flat, the area of the river network is dense, rich in produce, is an important manufacturing base in the eastern coastal areas of China. In recent years, the transportation situation in North Jiangsu has fundamentally improved, and the location advantage is more prominent, with the New Asia-Europe Continental Bridge, i.e., the Longhai Railway, Beijing-Shanghai Railway, Xinchang Railway, and the planning and construction of the Coastal Railway and other components of the well-connected railroad network, which can be accessed to the important cities in China and can be the furthest to Europe, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the port group of Lianyungang Port in the northern wing of the Shanghai International Shipping Center, the port of Dafeng, and the planning and construction of the North Jiangsu Province. The shipping network of North Jiangsu, consisting of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Lianyungang Port, Dafeng Port and the planned North Suzhou shipping channel, is improving day by day. Beijing-Shanghai, Ning-Lian, Ning-Suzhou-Xuzhou, Ning-Jing-Salt, Coastal, Tong-San (starting from Tongjiang City of Heilongjiang Province and ending at Sanya City of Hainan Province), Su-Huai-Yan, Lian-Xu, Yan-Xu and other highways are running through the whole territory of North Jiangsu, and the density of the highway network in the North of Jiangsu has reached the level of developed countries, and the highway network, consisting of first- and second-class highway, is covering the whole North Jiangsu, which forms the Xuzhou Guanyin Airport, Lianyungang Baitabu Airport, Yancheng Nanyang Airport and Huai'an Lianshui Airport under construction form the air gateway of North Jiangsu Province, and are also the important logistics airports and windows for opening up to the outside world in the northern wing of Yangtze River Delta. The modern large-scale transportation network of North Jiangsu is taking shape. (ii) Resources: North Jiangsu has relatively rich natural resources such as mineral resources, marine resources, land resources, water resources, etc., and has an important position in Jiangsu as well as in East China where resources are in short supply. In terms of mineral resources, coal, gypsum and limestone in Xuzhou, rock salt, manganese nitrate and bumpy earth (a rare earth resource) in Huai'an, as well as crystals, rutile and serpentine in Lianyungang are all of good development conditions and utilization value, and the abundant mineral resources provide important conditions for the region to vigorously develop its heavy chemical industry. The rich marine resources (including island animal and plant resources, marine biological resources, seawater chemical resources, mudflat resources and seaport resources, etc.) are the material basis for the development of marine industry. North Jiangsu also has rich water resources, with many rivers and lakes and a dense network of rivers in the region, including Hongze Lake, the fourth largest freshwater lake in China, and other large lakes such as Baima Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Baoying Lake, Luoma Lake, Weishan Lake, etc. At the same time, the rivers are too densely populated to be enumerated, and one of the most famous ones is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The district is rich in wetland resources, with the national coastal mudflat wetland reserve in Yancheng and the Hongze Lake Wetland Reserve in Huai'an being an important part of the Yangtze River Basin Wetland Protection Network. The district is rich in coastal mudflat resources, which can be utilized as reserve land resources in Jiangsu Province, with great potential and development prospects. (III) Culture: North Suzhou is located in the transition zone of China's north and south culture, Xuzhou, Suqian and Lianyungang are geographically close to Shandong and Henan, and are in the junction zone between Jiangsu Province and the above two provinces, and their dialects are close to the northern dialects of Shandong and Henan, which belongs to the northern official dialect area, and the cultural customs of Xuzhou, Suqian and Lianyungang are close to the northern part of the country, while the dialects of Huaian and Yancheng are close to the local dialects of Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou and Nantong. Nantong and other local dialects, belonging to the Jianghuai dialect area, and their living customs are also close to those of the above areas. What is particularly interesting is that in Huai'an, there are more obvious dialect and customary differences within all of them, and the dialects of Huaiyin District and Lianshui County in the northern part of Huai'an have already taken on some of the characteristics of the northern dialects, which are quite different from those of Huai'an's main urban area, Chuzhou District, and the local dialects of Xuyi and Jinhou in the south, and the two northern counties and districts are closer to the north in terms of customary practices, and the two northern counties and districts are closer to the north in terms of customary practices. close to the north, while the main city of Huai'an, Chuzhou District, and Xuyi and Jinhu in the south are completely southern cultures, closer to places like Yangzhou. This cultural difference within northern Jiangsu and the transition between northern and southern cultures is rare throughout the country. (iv) Industrial, economic and social development: In recent years, the economic foundation of North Jiangsu has been significantly strengthened, with a large increase in the industrial economy and the initial formation of an industrial system, which has produced a number of characteristic and advantageous industries, such as the construction machinery of Xuzhou, the pharmaceuticals of Lianyungang, the brewery of Suqian, the automobiles of Yancheng, and the iron and steel and IT clusters of Huai'an; the tertiary industry has developed rapidly, which has been a new point of growth in the economy and also provided a large number of employment opportunities. At present, the economic development of the northern Jiangsu region is generally in the early stage of industrialization, energy, transportation, communications and other infrastructure construction across a new stage, initially constructed a large openness and development of the necessary support conditions; the people's living standards have improved, spiritual civilization, social civilization and human spirit has undergone unprecedented changes. Jiangsu provincial party committee and provincial government has always attached great importance to the development of northern Jiangsu region, in recent years, it is the successive introduction of a series of policies and measures to accelerate the development of northern Jiangsu, these policies and measures in the north of the increase in investment in infrastructure construction, support for the development of industries in northern Jiangsu, promote the opening up of domestic and foreign trade, accelerate the development of science and technology education, and promote the cooperation between southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu and so on has played an important role. With the international and domestic industrial restructuring, regional resource integration and optimization process and the acceleration of the integration process of the Yangtze River Delta, the economic and social development of northern Jiangsu has stepped into the fast lane, and industrial development has entered a higher stage. (v) Emerging city cluster in the northern wing of the Yangtze River Delta - urbanization in northern Jiangsu: With the "Guidelines of the State Council on Further Promoting the Reform, Opening-up and Economic and Social Development of the Yangtze River Delta Region" issued by the State Council on September 7, 2008, which defines the scope of the Yangtze River Delta at the national level, northern Jiangsu has also formally become a new member of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, and has elevated the development of northern Jiangsu to a national strategy, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the northern Jiangsu. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for North Jiangsu. Urbanization refers to the increase in the number of cities and the expansion of city scale in geographical space caused by the development of social productivity (mainly referring to the secondary and tertiary industries) in the process of industrialization, the concentration of population in cities (towns) (also including the flow of surplus rural labor to cities), the transformation of urban infrastructure and the continuous improvement of material and cultural living standards, and the gradual transformation of agricultural land into urban land to form a continuously developing process of urbanization. Urbanization process. In general, urbanization is synchronized with industrialization and de-agriculturalization. Due to many reasons, the level of urbanization in our province is obviously lagging behind industrialization and non-agriculturalization, which to a certain extent restricts the economic and social development of Jiangsu and produces negative effects in many aspects. Accelerating the process of urbanization is conducive to the transfer of surplus rural labor, increasing farmers' income; it is conducive to expanding consumer demand and stimulating economic growth; it is conducive to achieving the convergence of the urban-rural dual structure and adapting to the challenges of the knowledge-based economy; it is conducive to the optimization of the structure of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and to realizing the sustainable development of the economy and society. However, the development of urbanization must be supported by certain conditions, including land resources, water resources, infrastructure (housing, roads, water, electricity, gas, communications, greening, municipal, garbage disposal, etc.), jobs, commercial outlets, culture, education, health care and so on. Without the support of these conditions, the process of urbanization will result in "urban diseases" such as population expansion, traffic and housing congestion, employment difficulties, inadequate public **** facilities, serious pollution, and deterioration of the living environment. This is in the process of urbanization must be noted and prevented.
