Chengdu Shuangliu: Forging Urban Comprehensive Competitiveness from Its Aviation Strengths

CHENGDU, China, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- Recently, the final assembly plant at iSpace's headquarters base for the production and testing of reusable liquid-propellant launch vehicles in the Chengdu Shuangliu Economic Development Zone reached structural topping-out. iSpace's choice to locate its largest production, testing, and final assembly base in China in Shuangliu is a microcosm of how Shuangliu is leveraging its aviation hub advantages to build urban competitiveness.

As a key hub in China's Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, Shuangliu is exploring a new path for inland cities to overcome geographical constraints and integrate deeply into global value chains, while offering a case study for other cities around the world pursuing greater openness and development.
