About

Pearl River Metro Area:

The Pearl River Delta (PRD) megalopolis is one of the largest and fastest growing urban regions in the world. This massive urban agglomeration is located in Guangdong, a province in Southern China. It consists of 11 independent but highly interconnected cities situated around Guangdong province’s Pearl River Delta Bay, the estuary where the 3rd longest river in China ends and discharges into the South China Sea. The explosive growth of the PRD megalopolis has not gone without notice. Chinese government officials and business leaders have hatched a plan to further integrate the PRD megalopolis. If everything goes according to plan, by 2030 the GDP of the PRD megalopolis will grow to $4.62 trillion, making it larger than the economies of rival bay areas in Tokyo, New York, and San Francisco.”

Changjiang River Delta Metro Area

Changjiang River Delta, which centers around Shanghai, is an important international gateway and one of the major engines of China’s economy. In addition to the municipality of Shanghai, the Yangtze River Delta region is traditionally made up of the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and more recently also includes the province of Anhui. The whole region covers 211,770 km2 – more than twice the size of South Korea. Currently, the Changjiang River Delta is China’s richest region per capita, and in 2016 generated a GDP of RMB 17.72 trillion (US$2.76 trillion) – about 20 percent of national GDP. It is responsible for one-third of China’s imports and exports and has a population of about 150 million people – 11 percent of the country’s total. The region is set to continue to play a significant role in China’s economy with its transformation into a world-class city cluster.”
