虹桥国际中央商务区建设成果如何？来看这份成绩单 - 2022年03月04日

Since an overall development plan was approved by the State Council in February 2021, Shanghai's Hongqiao area has laid a great foundation for innovation and growth of key industries.

The Hongqiao International Hub for Opening-Up, with a functional layout of "one core, two belts" covering 7,000 square kilometers, saw its gross domestic product reach 2.58 trillion yuan (US$ 408.7 billion) in 2021, said Shanghai Vice Mayor Zong Ming, also director of the Hongqiao CBD administrative committee, at a meeting to commemorate the anniversary on Wednesday.

That means the hub, which is less than 2 percent of the entire Yangtze River Delta region, accounted for nearly 10 percent of the overall economic output in the region.
