关于长江三角洲未来发展的新构想

THE NEW IDEAS OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF YANGTZE RIVER DELTA

为了解决上海缺乏深水港址和宁波、舟山港腹地范围狭小的问题 ,提出了两个相互关联的宏大构想 :一是在杭州湾建造锁海大坝并展开大规模的围垦造陆 ;二是兴建宁波至舟山的跨海交通与输水工程 ,这两大构想一旦付诸实施 ,其直接效益主要有二 :1) 为长江三角洲增加数千平方公里的土地 ;2 ) 今后可望在宁波—舟山建成世界超级大港和千万人口级的特大城市 。

In order to resolve the problems concerning Shanghai's lack of a deep water harbor site and the narrowness of Zhoushan harbor's hinterland,the present paper comes up with two related ideas:1.building a gigantic dam in Hangzhou gulf to reclaim land from the sea,and 2.building a system of communications and water supply spanning the sea between Ningbo and Zhoushan.The implementation of the two ideas will result in two direct benefits:1.an increase of several thousand square Kilometers of land for the Yangtze River delta,and 2.a possibility of founding a megalopolis in the Ningbo Zhoushan area,i.e.,a city with one of the world's super harbors and a population of over ten million,joining in with Shanghai to form China's or even the world's largest economic center.
