长江经济带是我国国土开发和经济建设中极其重要的开发轴线,近年来已经上升为新一轮的国家战略,肩负着参与国际竞争、协调东中西3大区域、推进双向开放、建设生态文明的使命。在国际国内经济社会发展新形势下,长江经济带发展机遇与挑战并存。以流域经济发展为视角,从长江经济带提出的背景出发,回顾了长江经济带战略构想及20世纪80年代以来开发历程,从经济地位、产业集聚、航运建设、岸线开发、沿江交通等5个方面分析了长江经济带发展态势,并重点分析了长江经济带重化工业发展与布局、生态环境影响、港口建设与发展、城市群培育等方面面临的主要问题,最后从改革考核机制、破除行政壁垒、强化流域协调机构与建立流域管理法律法规等方面提出了对策思路,以期为新时期长江经济带开发建设提供参考借鉴。

ANALYSIS ON THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND TREND OF YANGTZE RIVER ECONOMIC BELT

The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is one of the important development axes of the regional development and economic spatial construction in China. To be the national strategy in recent years, it plays an increasingly important role in international competition, regional coordination, promotion of Two-direction Opening on east and west, construction of ecological civilization. With the new situation and requirement of international and domestic economic and social development, the development of the YREB is facing the opportunities and challenges. From the background which the development strategy of YREB was provided, the article reviewed its four periods of development. The progress and trend of the development in the YREB were analyzed from five aspects including economic status, industrial concentration, river port and shipping development, shoreline utilization and development, traffic construction along the River. The problems in the development of YREB were further discussed, including the excessive development of the heavy and chemical industrial, the destruction of the ecological environment, the excessive competition among the ports, and the imperfect urban system in the urban agglomeration. In the end, the paper proposed some countermeasures on the YREB development from reforming the assessment mechanism, breaking the administrative barriers, strengthening coordination agencies of river basin and establishing laws and regulations of river basin management, so as to provide reference for Yangtze River economic belt development and construction in the future.
