    Abstract

    The Jiangbei New District is an important development area for both the city of Nanjing and the Jiangsu Province. Situated north of the Yangtze River, it covers an area of 2,450 km2. It is anticipated that by 2049, this district will accommodate 4.5 million inhabitants, several CBDs (central business districts), and multiple industrial clusters. The City of Nanjing has taken the challenge to transform the New District into a strategic demonstration zone for inter- regional and economic development.
