In the past three years, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, the four provincial-level regions of the Yangtze River Delta, have spared no effort to implement the integrated development strategy to promote a new pattern of integrated development and continue to enhance people's sense of gain and happiness through institutional innovation, ecological co-governance, people's livelihood sharing, and public service sharing.
Yuandang Bridge in Wujiang District of Suzhou connects Jiangsu and Qingpu District of Shanghai.
After nearly two years of unified planning and management, the beautiful lakes and beautiful villages linked by this water area are becoming the "most beautiful model room" for ecological green development in the Yangtze River Delta.
In the past, neither of the three regions exercised management over the waters, leaving behind serious degradation with overgrown weeds and blue-green algae.
In 2020, under the coordination of the Executive Committee of the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integration Development Demonstration Zone, Qingpu District of Shanghai and Wujiang District of Jiangsu jointly launched the Yuandang Lake ecological restoration and function improvement project to connect Yuandang Lake and its surrounding tributaries, clear rivers, and remediate bank slopes.
