Recently, the “outline of the integrated regional development of the Yangtze River Delta” was issued to the public, in which the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta rose to become the national strategy. Professor Liu Zhibiao said that the market integration is the foundation and key to the high-quality integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta, and the implementation of this national strategy should start with the market integration in the delta region.In the process of the integration, all districts should give full play to their unique advantages. Taking Jiangsu Province as an example, we can play an unique role by our features of strong real economy, rich scientifical and educational resources and high degree of openness. The integration of Yangtze River Delta is of great strategic significance to the development of Jiangsu Province. The way to achieve the integration of the Yangtze River Delta should start from encouraging and supporting the regional market integration. In order to promote the regional market integration, the difficulty lies in the construction and innovation of the governance mechanism. In addition, coordination and cooperative governance among governments can also be advocated, especially in the fields of transportation, environmental protection and people's livelihood. This is particularly important to solve the market’s externality and improve the market efficiency.
