As of 2018, there are nine officially approved megalopolises in China. In 2017, theNational 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.^{[needs update]} The new city clusters identified in 2017 wereLanzhou-Xining,Hohhot-Baotou-Ordos-Yulin,Guanzhong Plain,Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone, and theGuangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.^[3]

TheThirteenth Five-Year Plan (covering 2016-2020) highlighted nineteen city clusters to be developed and strengthened pursuant to a geographic layout referred to as two horizontals and three verticals (liang heng san zong).^[4]^: 206 The highlighted clusters included theBeijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, theYangtze River delta region, and theGreater Bay area.^[4]^: 206 Development of these clusters includes establishing regional coordination mechanisms, sharing development costs and benefits, collaborative industrial development, and shared governance approaches to ecological issues andenvironmental protection.^[4]^: 208
