Abstract: | As the fourth municipality directly under the Central Government, there exist some economic development obstacles including dual economic structures and regional development disparity in Chongqing. According to the local position, economic basis and technical superiority, Chongqing should be an economic growth pole in the interior of China so that it is necessary to evaluate its interregional status. Although the position of economic strength is generally among all of the administrative divisions, the position of Chongqing is very prominent between Southwest China and the Yangtze River industrial zone. In order to give play to the spread action of a growth pole and to promote regional economic coordinated development of the Central and Western part of China, Chongqing should adopt the regional sustained and rapid development strategy. Correspondingly, a series of development proposals has also been put forward in the paper. |
