Abstract:The Yangtze River Economic Belt, characterized by being connected by rivers, gradient industrial distribution and closely related ecological environment, is a typical river basin economy. Since the reform and opening-up, the development and construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has experienced four stages, rising from self-development to national development strategy. However, currently its development is confronted with problems of administrative barriers, deterioration of ecological environment, absence of comprehensive management organizations, backward coordination system and mechanism, and imperfect law guarantee system. The experiences and lessons of the development models of the international basins such as Rhine and the Danube in Europe, Tennessee River and Mississippi River in the United States, and the Amazon in South America provide beneficial reference and enlightenment for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt: to protect and effectively use water resources; to strengthen regulation and construction of river courses; to improve management mechanism of river basins; to cultivate the industrial belt and cluster in the basin; to attach importance to protection of ecology and environment. Priority of ecology, green development, joint efforts in large-scale protection, and no extensive development should be the basic principles for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
