Internationally recognized six major urban agglomerations in the world:

First, the urban agglomerations along the Atlantic coast of the United States. The urban agglomeration along the Atlantic Ocean is the core of the American economy, with a population of 45 million, accounting for 20% of the American population. Not only that, it also accounts for 30% of American manufacturing. The urban agglomeration along the Atlantic coast is not only the largest trade center in the United States, but also the core economic zone in the United States!

Second, the Great Lakes urban agglomeration in the United States. The Great Lakes Urban Agglomeration in the United States is the key area of American economy and the most developed manufacturing area in the United States, with a population of about 50 million, which also highlights the development of American steel industry in this urban agglomeration!

Third, Japan's Pacific coast urban agglomeration. Japan's Pacific coast urban agglomeration is a national key urban agglomeration integrating politics, economy and transportation, highlighting more than 80% of Japan's financial, educational, information and R&D institutions with a population of about 70 million!

Fourth, the London urban agglomeration. London urban agglomeration in Britain has far surpassed any region in Britain in wealth, and it is also one of the three major financial centers in Britain and even the world, with a population of about 36.5 million, making it one of the key economic regions in the world!

Fifth, the northwest European urban agglomeration. The urban agglomeration in northwest Europe is a huge urban area. This city group has more than 40 cities with a population of 654.38+million. It is also an important transportation center in Paris and even Western Europe with a population of 46 million!

Sixth, China Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. China Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, centering on China and Shanghai, will strive to build a world-famous urban agglomeration, which is also a large-scale urban agglomeration integrating global economy, culture and high-tech industries!

Urban agglomeration is the highest spatial organization form when a city develops to a mature stage. It refers to a group of cities with/kloc-0 or more megacities as the core, at least 3 megacities as the constituent units, and relying on the developed infrastructure networks such as transportation and communication, which have a compact spatial organization, close economic ties and a high degree of urbanization and integration. Urban agglomeration is a huge, multi-core and multi-level urban agglomeration formed by several megacities and megacities concentrated in the region, and it is a consortium of metropolitan areas.

At present, there are five large-scale world-class urban agglomerations recognized in the world, namely, the Atlantic coastal urban agglomeration in the northeast of the United States, the Great Lakes urban agglomeration in North America, the Pacific coastal urban agglomeration in Japan, the British urban agglomeration and the northwest urban agglomeration in Europe.

201April 10, the 20 10 Report on the Development of China's Urban Agglomerations written by Fang Chuanglin, a domestic scholar, said that the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration has become one of the six world-class urban agglomerations. 20 15 65438+26 10, the report released by the world bank showed that the pearl river delta urban agglomeration surpassed Tokyo, Japan, and became the largest urban agglomeration in the world in population and area.
