Abstract

For almost a century, from advancement’s perspective of the improvement of port urban communities around the globe, the improvement level of the port has ended up one of the images to quantify monetary improvement level of port city and port neighboring economy has turned into an imperative power to advance financial improvement in port city and district. At present, the hypothetical examination on the advancement of port neighboring economy for the most part pack in the beach front ports, on the other hand, in actuality port neighboring economy in most inland ports likewise grew gradually for a few reasons of geological position, being far from the ocean. With the world’s busiest inland water transportation course and its most inland waterway all out payload throughput on the planet in Yangtze River economy belt, port neighboring monetary improvement potential is enormous. This paper will draw motivation by breaking down outside port neighboring economic model, beginning with the advancement status of inland ports in the Yangtze River monetary zone, to give the premise and the proposal for the port neighboring economic joining model of Yangtze River economic belt.
