Shaoxing is implementing a strategy of synergetic development with Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai. The city is participating in the integration of the Yangtze River Delta region, and in improving the city level through in-depth cooperation with Yangtze River Delta city clusters.

To promote the integration of Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shaoxing, Zhejiang province has launched many major infrastructure projects, such as the Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Ningbo smart expressway, and the Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Taizhou expressway. Shaoxing is accelerating its integration into the half-hour Hangzhou urban economic circle and the two-hour Shanghai-Zhejiang-Jiangsu integrated economic circle.

Shaoxing is implementing a batch of transport infrastructure projects to speed up the integration with Hangzhou. It has started building an intercity railway connecting Hangzhou and Shaoxing rail transit lines 1 and 2. The original Xiaoshan-Ningbo railway has been transformed into a commuter railway, and some stations already running trial operations.

Shaoxing is also concentrating on the construction of one cluster and two corridors.

Located in the middle of the south bank of Hangzhou Bay, Shaoxing's coastal industrial cluster is next to Hangzhou in the west, Zhoushan and Ningbo in the east and Shanghai in the north, and has a planned area of 500 square kilometers. The cluster consists of four blocks: two State-level development zones (Paojiang Economic and Technological Development Zone and Hangzhou Bay Shangyu Economic and Technological Development Zone), Binhai New Area Jiangbin area, and Keqiao Binhai Industrial Park. It is one of 15 key industrial clusters in Zhejiang.

The construction of the science and technology innovation corridor covers Keqiao district, Yuecheng district and Shangyu district, and focuses on key projects at a science and technology city, science and technology innovation park and an industrial design characteristic town. There are 30 science and technology business incubators, 100 mass innovation spaces, and 100 public science and technology innovation platforms (key laboratories) under construction.

The construction of the cultural and creative corridor is based on the five name brands of Shaoxing: textiles, yellow rice wine, calligraphy, water towns and celadon. By emphasizing canal culture and polishing regional characteristics, Shaoxing aims to build an international bay area cultural center.
