North Jiangsu is located in the Yellow Sea, 744 kilometers of coastline, and Japan, South Korea across the sea, is located in the Yangtze River delta region with Shanghai as the leader, in the south to the north, the east out of the west into an important position, the country's coastal economic zone is an important part of. North Jiangsu is in the Huanghuai Plain and the Jianghuai Plain transition zone, the terrain is flat, the area of the river network is dense, rich in produce, is China's eastern seaboard is an important manufacturing base. 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 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, etc., run through the whole territory of North Jiangsu, and the density of the expressway network in North Jiangsu has reached that of developed countries, and the network of high-level highways, consisting of first- and second-level highways, covers the whole North Jiangsu, which forms the convenient land transportation channel. 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 transportation network of North Jiangsu is taking shape.

(2) 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 East China where resources are in short supply. In terms of mineral resources, Xuzhou coal, gypsum and limestone, Huai'an rock salt, manganese nitrate and bumpy earth (a rare earth resource), as well as Lianyungang crystals, rutile and serpentine have good development conditions and utilization value, and the rich mineral resources provide important conditions for the region to vigorously develop the 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 region is rich in coastal mudflat resources, which can be utilized as the backup land resources of Jiangsu Province, with great potential and broad development prospects.

(C) Culture:

North Suzhou is located in the transition zone of China's north and south culture, Xuzhou, Suqian, Lianyungang area geographically close to Shandong, Henan and other places, in the junction of Jiangsu Province and the above two provinces, the dialect is close to the northern Shandong, Henan and other places of the northern dialect, belonging to the northern official dialect area, the Xu Su Lian culture and customs with the north of the majority of the area close to, and Huaian, Yancheng dialect with Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and the northern dialect is close to the northern part of the country. dialects are close to the local dialects of Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Nantong, etc., belonging to the Jianghuai dialect area, and their living customs are also close to those of the above mentioned areas, and what is particularly interesting is that in Huai'an, there are more obvious dialect and customary differences internally, and the dialects of Huaiyin District and Lianshui County in the northern part of Huai'an have taken on the characteristics of some northern dialects, which are more different from those of Huai'an's main urban area, Chuzhou District, as well as the local dialects of Xuyi and Jinhu in the southern part of Huai'an. differences, and the two northern counties and districts are also closer to the north in their customs, while the main city of Huai'an, Chuzhou District, and Xuyi and Jinhu in the south are completely southern in culture and closer to places such as 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 the industrial system, which has produced a number of distinctive and advantageous industries, such as the construction machinery of Xuzhou, the pharmaceuticals of Lianyungang, the brewery of Suqian, the automobiles of Yancheng, and the steel and IT clusters of Huai'an; and the tertiary industry has developed rapidly, which is both a new economic The tertiary industry is developing rapidly, which is a new growth point of the economy and also provides a large number of jobs.

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 open, large development of the necessary support conditions; the people's living standards have a new improvement in the construction of spiritual civilization, the degree of civilization of the community and people's mental outlook has undergone unprecedented changes.

The Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government has always attached great importance to the development of the northern Jiangsu Province, in recent years, it is the successive introduction of a series of policies and measures to accelerate the development of the northern Jiangsu Province, these policies and measures in the northern Jiangsu Province to increase the investment in infrastructure construction, support for the development of the northern Jiangsu Province industry, to promote opening up to the outside world to accelerate the development of science and technology education, and to promote the northern Jiangsu Province and the southern Jiangsu Province cooperation and so on has played an important role. With the international and domestic industrial restructuring, regional resource integration and optimization process and the Yangtze River Delta integration process accelerated, the economic and social development of the northern Jiangsu Province into the fast lane, industrial development has entered a higher stage.

(E) The urbanization of the northern wing of the Yangtze River Delta Emerging City Cluster - North Jiangsu:

With the State Council's issuance of the "Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Further Promoting the Reform, Opening Up and Economic and Social Development of the Yangtze River Delta" on September 7, 2008, which defines the scope of the Yangtze River Delta at the national level, North Jiangsu has also formally become a new member of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, and has made North Jiangsu's development This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Northern Jiangsu to become a national strategy.

Urbanization refers to the process of industrialization, the development of social productivity (mainly refers to the secondary and tertiary industries) caused by the increase in the number of cities in the geographical space and the expansion of urban scale, the concentration of population in cities (towns) (including the flow of surplus rural labor to the city), the transformation of urban infrastructure and the improvement of the standard of living of the material and cultural life, and gradually change the land of the agricultural land into urban land, forming a continuous development of the urbanization process. A continuously developing process of urbanization. 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 many negative effects.

Accelerating the process of urbanization is conducive to the transfer of surplus rural labor, increasing the income of farmers; is conducive to expanding consumer demand, driving economic growth; is conducive to the realization of the urban-rural dual structure of the convergence of the challenges of the knowledge-based economy; is conducive to the optimization of the structure of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, and the realization of the economic and social development in a sustainable manner. 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.

According to international experience in the development of urbanization, a certain size of the city needs a certain level of facilities and functions to adapt. There is a great difference between the requirements of functions and facilities of small cities and those of megacities. Internationally, cities are categorized into four classes according to their population: megacities (population of 1 million or more), large cities (population of 500,000 - 1 million), medium-sized cities (population of 200,000 - 500,000), and small cities (population of less than 200,000). When a city grows within the population capacity of its city class, it can maximize the effectiveness of its infrastructure because it has already made the necessary investments and does not need to make additional investments. At this point, the city enters a period of rapid and efficient development. If a city grows beyond the population capacity of its urban class and rises to a higher class of city type, its infrastructure and urban function requirements will undergo a qualitative change, requiring large-scale investment and a certain number of years of construction in order to adapt to the new city type's requirements for a variety of support conditions. During this period of construction, the development of the city will be relatively slow until it has the conditions of the new city type and then enters a period of accelerated development.

In 2006, the urbanization level of Jiangsu Province was about 50.5%, of which the regional urbanization levels of the cities in the south of Jiangsu Province were as follows: 77.63% in Nanjing, 71.92% in Wuxi, 45.45% in Changzhou, 42.96% in Zhenjiang, and 52.17% in Suzhou. 43.32%; the regional urbanization levels of the cities in northern Jiangsu are: Xuzhou 34.32%, Lianyungang 47.21%, Suqian 42.19%, Yancheng 36.05% and Huai'an 32.44%. In terms of urban household population, Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou and Xuzhou all have a population of more than 1 million, reaching the levels of 5.24 million, 2.5 million, 2.2 million and 1.6 million, respectively, and entering the magnitude of megacities. Among the five cities in northern Jiangsu, Xuzhou City is the first to enter the ranks of megacities. In addition, according to the latest data, the population of Huai'an City Center has also exceeded 1 million people, entering the ranks of megacities. (Note: The population of the two districts of Qinghe District and Qingpu District is 730,000, plus the population of the urban areas of Chuzhou District and Huaiyin District), the population of Lianyungang City District is 715,600, the population of Yancheng City District is 600,000, and the population of Suqian City District is 300,000.

In recent years, the construction of small and medium-sized cities in northern Jiangsu Province has also gained great achievements, 24 counties (cities) in northern Jiangsu Province has basically formed with their own characteristics of the industrial system and urban style, as of the end of 2007, the northern Jiangsu Province already has five of the country's top 100 counties (cities), Dongtai City, Dafeng City, Xinyi City, Pizhou City, Tongshan County. With the rapid development of the economy in northern Jiangsu, the race around the wave of development, there will also be more of the country's top 100.

(F) South-to-North Water Diversion Project, coastal development and revitalization of North Jiangsu:

1, South-to-North Water Diversion Project

South-to-North Water Diversion is the CPC Central Committee and the State Council for the solution of China's serious water shortage in the north of the major decisions. South-to-north water transfer in the east, in the west, three lines, with a total investment of 1 trillion yuan, 240 billion tons of water transfer. Among them, the east line project is in Jiangsu Province, the current status of the northward transfer of river water project (extracting the Yangtze River water 400m3 / s) on the basis of the expansion of the scale and the extension to the north. From the lower reaches of the Yangtze River near Yangzhou pumping the Yangtze River water, the use of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and its parallel rivers for the main water transmission trunk line and sub-trunk line step by step to lift water northward, and connected as a storage reservoir of the Hongze Lake, Luoma Lake, Nansihu, Dongping Lake, in the vicinity of the Bit Mountain through the Yellow River through tunnels can be self-flowing, need to be recruited bit of the Canal Lin Canal into the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the Wei-Canal, the South Canal to Tianjin (Figure 9). The main water transmission line is 1150km long, of which 660km is south of the Yellow River; 490km is north of the Yellow River. 90% of the water transmission channel can utilize the existing rivers and lakes. From Dongping Lake, the East West Water Transfer Project is built to send water to Yantai and Weihai on the Shandong Peninsula. West East Water Transfer Project is the key project to solve the serious water shortage on the Shandong Peninsula, its western section (240km) from Dongping Lake economy south to the Huangjianqing trunk canal, the middle section (138km) using the existing Huangjianqing project trunk canal, the eastern section (318km) from the Huangjianqing trunk canal of the home of the village to build a diversion gate, the need to build a 3 ~ 4 pumping station to Yantai Weihai.

Dongping Lake, the highest point in the entire East Route Project, the water level is higher than the Yangtze River level of about 40m; south of the Yellow River need to build 75 pumping stations in 13 steps, with a total head of about 65m. north of the Yellow River can be self-flowing to Tianjin. Most of the pumping station and can be combined with the local backbone drainage river flooding. In addition to the east line project to transfer water northward task, both navigation, flood control, flood control and other comprehensive benefits.

Jiangsu Province, the planning scale of the northward transfer of river water project is " 64321 "that is, pumping the river 600m3 / s, into the Hongze Lake 400m3 / s, out of the Hongze Lake 300m3 / s, into the Luo Ma Lake 200m3 / s, out of the Luo Ma Lake 100m3 / s. Jiangsu Province, since 1961, began construction of the pumping station in Jiangdu, after 40 years of construction, has been completed. After 40 years of construction, has now built 9 steps, 20 regular pumping stations, pumping station installed capacity of more than 200,000kw, can be sent to Lianyungang, Xuzhou and the lower level of the South Four Lakes. Pumping scale has 400m3 / s (now the actual pumping capacity of the Yangtze River water 508m3 / s), the average amount of water pumped over the years about 3.3 billion m3, dry years pumping up to more than 6 billion m3. At present, the water can be sent to the lower level of the lake 50m3 / s, the amount of water 5 to 700 million m3.

Due to the East Route Project water conveyance channel is located in a relatively low topographic position, subject to the limitations of the height, the main water supply objectives For the eastern Huanghuaihai Plain and Shandong Peninsula, to solve the eastern Shandong and southeastern Hebei agriculture as well as the Jinpu Railway along the Shandong Peninsula and the city of water shortage, and can be used as a supplemental water source for Tianjin.

The East Route Project can be based on the water demand requirements of North China and Shandong Peninsula and the country's economic capacity, first pass and then smooth, phased implementation, gradually expanding the scale of water transfer.

Emergency (Phase I) project: in Jiangsu Province, the northward transfer of river water project (pumping scale of 400m3 / s) on the basis of the Jiangsu section of the reconstruction and expansion of part of the pumping station and water conveyance river, expanding the excavation of Shandong Province in the river and the construction of the fourth level of the pumping station, literacy water into the Dongping Lake 1 billion m3 or so. Renewal of a tunnel through the Yellow River, north of the Yellow River, using the Yellow River in the construction of the Jinjin line water transfer. In case of continuous drought in North China, use the idle time of Jiangsu Province pumping station; from mid-October to March of the following year, send water to the north of the Yellow River or the Shandong Peninsula, of which to Tianjin emergency water supply of 400-500 million m3. 2001-2002 construction was completed.

The second phase: on the basis of the first phase of the project, the scale of pumping the river was expanded to 600-700m3/s, with a multi-year average pumping volume of 9-10 billion m3; the scale of entering the upper lake reached 350m3/s, and entering the Dongping Lake 300m3/s, and supplying water to the Shandong Peninsula 50m3/s, with a water volume of 1.0-15.0 billion m3; and crossing the Yellow River 200m3/s, with a water volume of 3.0-4.0 billion m3, which can replace the water supply of Shandong Peninsula. 4 billion m3, can replace the Shandong Yellow Irrigation District and Hebei, Tianjin, part of the yellow water to supplement the Haihe River southeast plains of the water supply shortage. In the eastern emergency (Phase I) project completed after the start of construction, completed in 2010 or so.

The third phase: on the basis of the second phase of the project, the scale of pumping the river to expand to 800 ~ 1000m3 / s, the average multi-year pumping of the river water volume of 13 ~ 17 billion m3; to the Shandong Peninsula water supply of 90m3 / s, the amount of water of 1.5 ~ 2 billion m3; over the Yellow River 400m3 / s, the amount of water of 6 ~ 8 billion m3, water supply to the city of the currency of 2 billion m3. It is expected to be in 2030 around Start construction.

The difficulties of the Eastern Route are: heavy water pollution along the route; difficult to solve the shortage of water in Beijing; south of the Yellow River need to use electric pumping stations to raise water, high operating costs; because of the northward transfer of water with the Jiangsu Province Jiangshui project *** with the water conveyor, pumping stations and lakes, in case of drought in the Huaihe River Basin or the peak of water use in Jiangsu, the amount of water supplied to the north and the process of water supply is difficult to ensure that the operation and management is complex.

1993 has reviewed and approved the first phase of the East Line engineering feasibility study revised report, and complete the first phase of the East Line project overall design. In the same year, the Ministry of Water Resources reviewed and passed the "South-to-North Water Diversion East Phase I Project Revised Environmental Impact Report".

The east line has a considerable foundation, but also the key lines of water transfer. East line water transfer, both a large investment in the construction of water pumping station, raise the canal dyke, in the process of water transfer, but also a large amount of electricity, equipment consumption and maintenance costs. These investments will increase the demand for steel, cement and other basic materials and power, oil and other fuels, power, machinery, equipment, and through its forward, backward, ring associated with the development of related industries, resulting in several rounds of multiplier effect, leading to overall economic growth. Huge investment will also produce tens of thousands of jobs for the remaining rural labor force in northern Jiangsu Province provides employment channels, will stimulate the increase in per capita income in northern Jiangsu Province. South-to-North Water Diversion Project runs through five cities in northern Jiangsu Province, in accordance with international practice, the water transfer is to pay a price, and the water-using areas should be compensated for this. The main part of the charges for water use should be returned to the state, and the water supply area will also get the corresponding income. Because of the transfer of water year-round, the number of considerable, the northern part of the Soviet Union will also be y benefited.

2, coastal development

Jiangsu coastal development strategy is the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, the provincial government in line with the laws of economic development and the trend of the times, based on the international and domestic environment, made a great strategic planning. The coastal development involves three prefecture-level cities along the coast of Jiangsu, namely Lianyungang, Yancheng and Nantong, of which the northern part of Jiangsu occupies two seats, so it is evident that the coastal development is of great importance to the northern part of Jiangsu.

The northern part of Jiangsu has 744 kilometers of coastline, accounting for about 2/3 of the total length of Jiangsu's coastline, so coastal development is crucial to the revitalization of the northern part of Jiangsu. on August 3, 2008, Du Ying, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, led a joint research group consisting of 20 ministries and units of the State Council to conduct field research on the coastal areas of Jiangsu Province. on September 7, 2008, the State Council promulgated the "State Council on the Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform, Opening-up and Economic and Social Development of the Yangtze River Delta Region" promulgated on September 7, 2008 elevated Jiangsu's coastal development to a national strategy. Therefore, Jiangsu's coastal development is not a tactical action or a battle action, but a strategic action. Liang Baohua, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, clearly pointed out that the coastal development of Jiangsu will vigorously build a coastal industrial zone focusing on new energy, marine specialties, modern logistics industry and large-scale petrochemical industry at the port, and accelerate the formation of a new type of industrialized base and modern agricultural base. From the perspective of the regional economy, to "the development of coastal areas in Jiangsu and promote the integration of the Yangtze River Delta regional economy, driving the development and opening up of the central and western parts of Jiangsu Province to accelerate the revitalization of the northern Jiangsu Province to better combine together". Liang Baohua said. Du Ying, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), also mentioned that "it is necessary to clarify the industrial structure, new types of industries and specific layout. Lianyungang is the leading coastal development of Jiangsu, the construction of Lianyungang port is the focus of coastal development in Jiangsu, especially Lianyungang port 300,000 tons of waterway construction issues, we should grasp the research and demonstration for the layout of the port of large industries to provide an important basis."

At present, the north of Jiangsu has a billion-ton port - Lianyungang Port, Yancheng's Dafeng Port, the two ports form the most important port group in the northern wing of the Yangtze River Delta. One of the Lianyungang, as one of the first 14 coastal open cities, the New Asia-Europe Continental Bridge East Bridgehead, Jiangsu's first deep-water port, in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle and the Bohai Sea Economic Circle at the conjunction of the strategic economic position is extremely important in the "State Council on the further advancement of the reform and opening up of the Yangtze River Delta region and the economic and social development of the guiding opinions", Lianyungang port is positioned as the Shanghai International Shipping Center The Port of Lianyungang has been positioned as a supporting port of the Shanghai International Shipping Center.

In the just-opened cross-strait three-way, northern Jiangsu is not lagging behind, the first batch of announced cross-strait three-way ports, the port of Lianyungang and Dafeng port are successfully selected. This has injected stronger vitality into the development of the export-oriented economy in northern Jiangsu.

3, the revitalization of North Jiangsu

North Jiangsu is located on the eastern coast of China and is an important part of the coastal economic belt. North Jiangsu is located in the Yangtze River Delta economic zone, while adjacent to the Bohai Sea economic zone, in China's two most dynamic economic circle in the combination of the zone, the strategic economic position is extremely important, the location advantage is obvious. The whole territory is a plain area, no high hills, flat terrain, dense river network, water resources and mineral resources, is China's eastern region of the important energy base and commodity grain base.

In the past quite a long time due to the inconvenience of transportation and many other factors, resulting in the development of the north of Jiangsu relatively lagging behind, behind and with the same in the Yangtze River Delta in the south of Jiangsu and north of Zhejiang, and so on, objectively resulting in the development of regional imbalance in Jiangsu Province. Jiangsu provincial government is committed to the coordinated development of the region, has always attached great importance to the development of the north of Jiangsu, in the past decade, Jiangsu Province, continue to strengthen the revitalization of the north of Jiangsu Province to support the implementation of policies tilted to increase the investment in the north of Jiangsu's infrastructure, especially for the construction of transport infrastructure investment is particularly large. North Jiangsu in the past, one of the development constraints is difficult to cross the river, the lack of convenient land access to Shanghai, Shanghai and Nanjing can not directly accept the radiation of the past long time on the Yangtze River in Jiangsu, only the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge a river crossing, can not meet the needs of the majority of areas in the north of Jiangsu. In the past decade, the state and Jiangsu Province to strengthen the investment in transportation, Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River has been built in Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge, Runyang Yangtze River Bridge, Sutong Yangtze River Bridge and other five bridges, so that the Yangtze River, Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River on the river channel to reach six, and at the same time is currently under construction there are the Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge, Nanjing Crossing Tunnel, Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge, Hutong River Passage, etc. Cross-river channel, will make Jiangsu's river crossing to ten, eliminating the constraints on the development of the north of Jiangsu transportation bottleneck, greatly improving the traffic situation in Jiangsu, so that the north of Jiangsu more closely integrated into the Yangtze River Delta economic circle, accelerating the process of economic integration.

North-South cooperation has always been an important means for Jiangsu Province to accelerate the revitalization of North Jiangsu. The so-called "North-South cooperation" is the cooperation between South Jiangsu and North Jiangsu, South Jiangsu and North Jiangsu make use of their respective advantages to carry out the rational allocation of industrial resources, South Jiangsu has a good industrial base, the industry has entered the late stage of industrialization, the need for industrial restructuring and upgrading, and vigorously develop the high-end manufacturing industry, and actively expand the financial and software outsourcing and other services, the South Jiangsu is adjacent to Shanghai and Zhejiang, and has been the only one in the Yangtze River Delta. South Jiangsu is adjacent to Shanghai and northern Zhejiang, with market and capital advantages, while many universities, with a large number of high-quality talents, creating conditions for industrial transformation and upgrading. Although the industrial base of North Jiangsu is not as good as South Jiangsu, it also has a good industrial base and a more complete industrial system, and in recent years, many industrial clusters have emerged, such as Xuzhou's construction machinery, Lianyungang's pharmaceuticals, Suqian's brewery, Yancheng's automobile, Huai'an's iron and steel, and a number of characteristics of the advantageous industries, such as IT industry clusters, etc. At the same time, the North Jiangsu has a well-developed education, a deep humanistic background, and a large number of skilled technical workers and a large number of local and international enterprises, and the local market is very competitive. A large number of skilled workers, land prices, human resources costs are in Shanghai, South Jiangsu and other places, while the transportation is convenient, resource-rich, low logistics costs, greatly reducing the cost of enterprises, for the development of manufacturing industry to create favorable conditions. The use of their respective advantages, complementary strengths, South Jiangsu and North Jiangsu fruitful cooperation, South Jiangsu industrial transformation and upgrading, North Jiangsu vigorously undertake the transfer of South Jiangsu's industries, through the North and South * * * build development zones and other innovative modes of realization of South Jiangsu from the labor-intensive manufacturing industry to the knowledge-intensive high-end manufacturing industry and the transformation of the financial services industry, the North Jiangsu to carry out a new type of industrialization, and vigorously cultivate and develop large-scale industrial clusters, built modern manufacturing base, supplemented by service outsourcing and other service industry industrial pattern, to achieve the industrial chain within Jiangsu Province and even within the Yangtze River Delta division of labor layout.

Now the economic strength of the north of Jiangsu has been greatly enhanced, the development of the north of Jiangsu has stepped into the fast lane, especially with the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, the north of Jiangsu shows accelerated development trend, the development of the north of the five cities of the speed of development are more than the average speed of Jiangsu, has been three years higher than the south of Jiangsu, especially in the last two years, the fastest-growing city of Jiangsu are in the north of Jiangsu, Jiangsu has been presenting the regional *** with the good situation of development. The good situation.

Changing and leading China's northern Suzhou people

The Chinese people **** and the country's north-south geographic division of the Qinling-Huai River as the boundary, Chahuai River through the central part of the north of Jiangsu Province east into the sea. Drawing on the essence of the culture of the north and south of the People's Republic of China, taking the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, taking the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and being nurtured by the rich plains and water towns, we have achieved a great atmosphere, elegance, and the excellent people of North Jiangsu.

The founder of the Han Empire, the strongest dynasty in the history of China, was a native of Suzhou, and the founder of the Ming Empire, the richest dynasty in the history of the Chinese People's Republic and the State, was also a native of Suzhou.
