It refers to the metropolitan area centered in Wuhan City and composed of eight adjacent cities including Huangshi, Ezhou, Huanggang, Xiaogan, Xianning, Xiantao, Tianmen and Qianjiang, see Fig. 6.1) is an important metropolitan area situated in Central China. It was approved to be the “National comprehensive reform testing zone of resource-conserving and environmental-friendly society” by the State Council in 2007, under the backdrop of the “Emerging Central” regional development strategy. The government mandated the Wuhan metropolitan cluster to blaze a new trail of industrialization and urbanization featuring low resources consumption, less environmental pollution and strong resource-gathering capability. Development of logistics is deemed as conducive to the industrial restructuring of the area and the economic integration within the area, thus accelerating the pace of building it into an economic center in the Central Region.
