Features: In the 21st century, China's regional economy has shown a trend of urban agglomeration development, with major influences coming from the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The Zhongshan Urban Agglomeration, located in the southern part of the Yangtze River Delta and at the intersection of the inland hinterland of the nine-province economic cooperation zone of Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui, is a "secondary urban agglomeration" or "sub-urban agglomeration" within the larger Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area. It consists of the municipal area of Jinhua City, Yiwu, Lanxi, Yongkang, and Dongyang—four county-level cities—as well as Wuyi and Pujiang.
In the 21st century, China's regional economy has shown a trend of urban agglomeration development, with major influences coming from the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

It consists of the municipal area of Jinhua City, Yiwu, Lanxi, Yongkang, Dongyang—four county-level cities—as well as Wuyi, Pujiang, and Pan'an—three counties.
The Zhongshan Urban Agglomeration is on the rise, and how to accelerate the integration of this region has become a noteworthy issue. Through dedicated observation of China's regional economic development trends, the author has conducted a specialized study on the Zhongshan Urban Agglomeration. The practical value of this book lies in its ability to combine an international macro perspective with a meso-level study of the Zhongshan Urban Agglomeration, emphasizing theoretical depth, practicality, and relevance, with a focus on proposing highly actionable countermeasures. The research findings of this book can serve as a reference for the development of other provinces and cities across the country.
