Breaking through transportation bottlenecks, Cangnan has embarked on a new chapter of integration into the Yangtze River Delta. Despite its transportation disadvantages, local authorities have shifted their mindset and proposed the goal of creating a “transportation hub at the Zhejiang-Fujian provincial border.” Over the past decade, local authorities have raised funds from various sources to weave a dense, three-dimensional transportation network, ultimately turning the disadvantages of being on the edge of the Yangtze River Delta into the advantages of being a cross-provincial junction hub.
Under the framework of expressways, high-speed railways. and deep-water ports, this peripheral area of the Yangtze River Delta is no longer on the fringes of development. Xu Haixian, Chief Planner at the Technical Center of Jiangsu Provincial Planning and Design Group, stated that the five years since the Yangtze River Delta integration became a national strategy have been the five years of urbanization of transportation networks. Currently, within the Yangtze River Delta region, all prefecture-level cities except Zhoushan have achieved access to high-speed rail services, making the “1- to 3-hour living circle” a reality through the operation of high-speed rail services.
