尽管长三角经济区凭借其在一体化合作方面诸多卓有成效的努力,已经向着建设国际化大都市圈的目标迈进。然而,与我国经济体制转型和城市化进程的要求相比,长三角的区域合作进展速度仍然比较缓慢。同时由于历史和体制的原因,一体化发展的各种不和谐音依然存在,很可能推迟长三角演变为国际化大都市圈的时间表。而解决这些的问题的突破点,只能是打破“诸侯经济”,实现联动发展和合作竞争。一体化进程虽然面临着一系列的难题和矛盾,却是长三角经济发展的必然趋势和现实选择。 Although the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, with its many fruitful efforts in integrated cooperation, has been moving toward the goal of building an international metropolitan area. However, compared with the requirements of our country’s economic restructuring and urbanization, the pace of regional cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta is still relatively slow. At the same time, due to historical and institutional reasons, various disharmonious voices of integrated development still exist and it is possible to postpone the timetable for the transformation of the Yangtze River Delta into an international metropolitan area. The breakthrough point for solving these problems can only be to break the “vassal economy” and achieve coordinated development and cooperation and competition. Although the process of integration faces a series of difficulties and contradictions, it is an inevitable trend and a realistic choice for economic development in the Yangtze River Delta.
