===Regional development strategies===
====Central Liaoning City Cluster (Shenyang Metro Area)====
The Central Liaoning city cluster is a [[Megalopolis (city type)|megalopolis]] centered on [[Shenyang]] (urban population 4 million). Within its {{convert|150|km|abbr=on}} radius, it includes [[Anshan]] (urban population 1.3 million), [[Fushun]] (1.3 million), [[Yingkou]] (1.1 million), [[Benxi]] (0.95 million), [[Liaoyang]] (0.7 million), and [[Tieling]] (0.4 million).

In April 2010, the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China]] approved a national development strategy for the Shenyang Metro Area. The core of this strategy is innovation in industrial development, integration of the eight cities, integration of urban and rural areas as well as the promotion of more market-oriented development.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://velopment.de/wiki/Investment_in_Liaoning |title=China Liaoning Business Guide |access-date=2010-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100701081708/http://velopment.de/wiki/Investment_in_Liaoning#Development_of_the_Shenyang_Metropolitan_Area |archive-date=2010-07-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

====Liaoning Coastal Economic Belt====

The [[Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary]] of Liaoning, [[Li Keqiang]], initiated the development of a strategy entitled "5 Points and One Line", which he first proposed on a visit to [[Yingkou]] in late 2005. Liaoning Province formally launched the development strategy for the entire Liaoning coastline in early 2006, so as to re-invigorate the provincial economy from its traditional status as a "rustbelt" of Chinese state-owned enterprises.

The "Five Points" indicate five key development areas in the province and cover seven zones: the Changxing Island Harbor Industrial Zone in [[Dalian]]; [[Yingkou]] Coastal Industrial Base; Liaoxi [[Jinzhou]] Bay Coastal Economic Zone; [[Dandong]], and the Zhuanghe Huayuankou Industrial Zone.

The five zones together cover a planned area of nearly {{convert|500|km2}}.

The "One Line" mentioned in the strategy represents a new series of motorways along the coast. The 1,433-kilometer coastline will become the connection between the five above zones, through which 6 provincial cities, 21 counties and 113 towns will be interlinked. Coastal motorways directly connect the entire string of five zones along the Bohai sea.
