Jiangsu pioneered the construction of the Yangtze River Creative City Cluster,which is a forward-looking exploration of the new institutional innovations and optimization of regional pro-ductivity structure.It is an inevitable responsibility as a"leading city cluster"in the Yangtze River Economic Belt,and a strategic innovation that actively participates in global competition and inter-venes in the high-end links of the global urban cultural value chain.Urban development requires a foundation of space with"humanistic location"value,which refers to the the"urban cultural cap-ital"attribute of the value of urban humanistic location space.The eight cities along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province,with the Yangtze River as the"axis"and link,although distributed on both sides of the river,have already put forward specific requirements and strategies for comprehen-sive cross river development.Moreover,it can be clearly seen that in terms of regional production structure and pattern,Nanjing and Suzhou are the two"development poles"in the eight coastal city cluster,forming a regional spatial structure of the most economically developed city cluster in China with special advantages in spatial location and commonalities in cultural and geographical space-"Jiangnan culture"as the cultural heritage of identity.Through the quenching of creative industries and the reproduction of urban cultural capital,as well as creating world-class urban agglomeration(belt)relationships with high-quality development,a regional economic and cultural community that is discovered,creatively created,and innovatively integrated can be formed so as to directly partici-pate in global urban competition,making it a world-class creative industry urban agglomeration for high-end industrial development.
