Jiading district, located in northwestern Shanghai with an area of 463 square kilometers, is an important comprehensive node of the Yangtze River Delta region on the Shanghai-Nanjing development axis. It has 12 sub-districts and towns and a permanent population of 1.83 million. The district enjoys distinctive location advantages and a multimodal transportation network, exerting unique influence as part of the central area of the Yangtze River Delta region.

Jiading district is promoting high-quality economic development to help Shanghai build itself into a central point for China's domestic economic circulation and a strategic link connecting domestic and international markets. The district will benefit from the two new opportunities offered by the development of Hongqiao International Opening-up Hub as a national strategy and the new-round development of demonstration areas in Jiading New Town as a municipal strategy.
