China on Sunday unveiled a plan to develop city clusters along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in a move to create new economic growth engines and promote new urbanization. They will mainly consist of urban clusters around Wuhan in Hubei, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan city group in Hunan and clusters around Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, said the State Council, China's cabinet. The clusters will cover a total area of 317,000 sq km.
