Dalian’s Mayor Chen Shaowang has unveiled bold plans to transform the northeastern city into a “modern coastal metropolis” ahead of a major global forum. Here’s what’s making waves:
At this week’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, leaders will dive into how coastal cities can innovate amid climate and tech challenges. Mayor Chen told CGTN the ocean isn’t just Dalian’s backdrop – it’s the blueprint. “From smart port logistics to marine conservation, we’re building bridges between tradition and tomorrow,” he said.
The city, known for its beaches and tech parks, aims to pioneer sustainable urban design. Think floating solar farms and AI-powered fisheries! With over 30% of global GDP tied to ocean economies, Dalian’s experiments could ripple worldwide.
Young professionals, take note: The mayor highlighted partnerships with universities and startups to create “blue economy” jobs. Could this be Asia’s next innovation tide?
