A New Chapter in Smart Regional Development
A landmark event held in Shanghai has unveiled a cutting-edge AI-driven decision support system designed specifically for the Yangtze River Delta. The launch, part of a major conference on regional integration and innovation, marks a transformative step toward data-informed governance and coordinated development across China’s most economically dynamic region.
Built on Deep Regional Intelligence
Developed by a leading research team from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, the model integrates decades of regional economic research with vast datasets—including policy archives, industrial chains, socioeconomic statistics, and geospatial information. Unlike general-purpose AI, it is fine-tuned for regional planning, offering actionable insights with high accuracy and traceability.
- Enables real-time policy simulation and impact forecasting
- Supports cross-jurisdictional planning in transportation, environment, and innovation
- Enhances transparency and consistency in regional decision-making
The system functions as a strategic advisory tool, helping policymakers navigate complex trade-offs and design more effective, evidence-based strategies for integrated growth.
From Vision to Action
As the Delta region advances its integration agenda, this intelligent platform addresses critical challenges such as fragmented data and delayed responses. By enabling proactive, scenario-based planning, it paves the way for seamless collaboration among cities and provinces. Looking ahead, the model is set to expand into urban management and public service optimization, driving smarter, more resilient regional development.
