Abstract：The Yangtze River Economic Belt（YREB） crosses China's eastern, central and western regions. It is an extremely important horizontal axis in China's regional development. With favorable geographic conditions, convenient transportation, abundant resources, developed economy and obvious industrial advantages, the YREB is an important strategic support zone for China's future development, but it is also faced with serious challenges, such as environmental pressure, lack of linkage between the upper and lower reaches, regional development imbalances and institutional arrangements. Its development has been a new national strategy for regional development, providing an important strategic support for the future development of Jiangsu Province, who should give full play to its comparative advantages and focus on the construction of green corridor, further improve the integrated transportation corridor and accelerate industrial transfer, and build featured innovation platform in order to become a forerunner pilot area in the YREB .
