In China, a City Cluster (Chinese: 城市群; pinyin: Chéngshì Qún) is an officially defined type of megalopolis,[1] whereby government policy is to knit the area together more tightly and promote development through transportation and communication links. The Economist Intelligence Unit in 2012 identified 13 megalopolises: Chang-Zhu-Tan (Greater Changsha), Chengdu, Chongqing, Greater Beijing i.e. Jing-Jin-Ji, Greater Shanghai (incl. Suzhou), Greater Xi'an, Greater Zhengzhou, Greater Guangzhou, Hefei economic circle (incl. Lu'an, Huainan, Chaohu), Shandong Peninsula, Greater Shenyang, Shenzhen and Wuhan.[2]
Up to 2018, there are nine officially approved megalopolises in China. In 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission stated that plans for six city clusters had been completed in 2016, five in 2017, with eight more forthcoming for a total of 19 city cluster plans by 2020. The new city clusters identified in 2017 were Lanzhou-Xining, Hohhot-Baotou-Ordos-Yulin, Guanzhong Plain, Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.

snip... its all about economies of scale...
The three megalopolises carry increased weight to China's economy, as they account for 8.6 percent, 19.8 percent and 9.0 percent of the national GDP, respectively, which means 37.4 percent combined. The three megalopolises are obviously the pillar of China's economy.
The three megalopolises account for 34.4 percent of the country's total DID population. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Megalopolis accounts for 7.9 percent of the national DID population, the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis 17.1 percent, and the Pearl River Delta Megalopolis 9.3 percent.
The three megalopolises are home to more than half of the companies listed on the main boards in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Megalopolis accounting for 15.9 percent, the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis 28 percent, and the Pearl River Delta Megalopolis 10.3 percent, meaning 54.2 percent combined.
The three megalopolises are home to 80 percent of the country's Chinese enterprises entering the Fortune Global 500 list, with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Megalopolis 54.3 percent, the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis 14.3 percent, and the Pearl River Delta Megalopolis 11.4 percent
The three major megalopolises account for 67.8 percent of China's exports in goods, with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Megalopolis making up 6.2 percent, the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis 32.7 percent, and the Pearl River Delta Megalopolis 28.8 percent. The three megalopolises, especially the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis and the Pearl River Delta, serve as a powerhouse of China's export, and are dubbed the "factory of the world."
The three megalopolises house 71.8 percent of China's IT companies listed on the main boards, and 50.7 percent of China's IT workers. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Megalopolis accounts for 32.5 percent of the national IT companies listed on the main boards, the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis 24.8 percent, and the Pearl River Delta Megalopolis 14.5 percent.
