01 长三角首份国土空间规划，批复了 12月3日，国务 院批复了《长三角国土空间规划（2023—2035年）》。 这是长三角首份，也是全国第三个获批的国家级城市群国土空间规划。 之所以是首份，是因为在本轮批复之前，国土空间规划还不叫国土空间规划，而是由主体功能区规划、土地利用规划、城乡规划等多份文件共同呈现。 现在采取了多规合一，也即所有的规划都浓缩到了国土空间规划当中。 随着"十四五"即将收官，去年以来各省市自治区以及主要城市的国土空间规划，相继获得国务院批复。 今年则是国家级城市群的国土空间规划进入批复阶段。京津冀、成渝地区双城经济圈已分别在1月份、11月份获批，下一个该轮到粤港澳。 具体来看 《长三角国土空间规划（2023—2035年）》，国家给到的定位是： 落实长三角一体化发展战略部署，建设世界级城市群，支撑长三角在中国式 现代化中走在前列，更好发挥先行探路、引领示范、辐射带动作用。 作为全国经济规模最大的国家级城市圈，长三角城市群的定位一出场便是世界级。 自2019年安徽全境加入长三角大家族后，长三角城市圈涵盖三省一市，覆盖41个城市，坐拥上海、苏州、杭州、南京、宁波、无锡、合肥、南通、常州9 个万 ...
