Strategic Thinking of Agglomeration and Development of Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Yangtze River Delta

【Abstract】

This issue of the Key Reference publishes the article entitled Strategic Thinking of Agglomeration and Development of Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Yangtze River Delta. The article analyses that the advanced manufacturing industry in theYangtze River delta is facing both strategic opportunities and severe challenges, at a critical turning point of the upgrading of global value chain. It also further analyzes that administrative areas in the Yangtze River delta have an “isomorphic” dilemma in the work division and positioning of the advanced manufacturing industry, and face severe competition, which causes bottlenecks in the upgrading of global value chain. Therefore, the article suggests formulating the strategic plan for agglomeration and development for advanced manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River delta, creating the space agglomeration landscape of “one core, five stars, three layers, four belts” and a differentiated, multi-level hierarchical innovation system and manufacturing system for the advanced manufacturing industry of the Yangtze River delta, founding a strategic alliance of the advanced manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River delta, and formulating the advanced manufacturing industry agglomeration policy among local governments in the Yangtze River delta.
