The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to promote infrastructure construction in an overall way and speed up building China into a country strong on transportation. Transportation is a basic, strategic and leading industry in the national economy. Transportation infrastructure is an important support and carrier of transportation. Promoting the connectivity of transportation infrastructure is not only the internal requirement for building China into a country strong on transportation in the new development stage, but also an important path to speed up the construction of a unified national market under the new development pattern.
This paper first analyzes the importance of transport infrastructure connectivity to promote the construction of a unified national market from multiple perspectives, then points out the problems existing in the current transport infrastructure construction, and finally provides suggestions for the development of transport infrastructure connectivity from the perspectives of spatial layout, making good use of both existing and additional resources, cross regional integration, hub economy and channel economy, and system and mechanism reform.
