High-speed rail adds mobility in delta region

The rapid development of the high-speed railway system has resulted in a greater flow of people between cities in the Yangtze River Delta region, according to experts at the 2018 International Science, Technology and Innovation Think Tank Forum on June 22.

The forum was part of the annual Pujiang Innovation Forum held in Shanghai.

"Thanks to the high-speed rail, many people can live a life shuttling between two cities in the region. They would have no difficulty arriving at their offices in downtown Shanghai from their homes in Suzhou or Wuxi within 90 minutes," said Luo Dajin, director of the Shanghai Institute for Science.
