Wuhan City in Hubei Province has set a development target to essentially complete the construction of its "Five Centers" and achieve a GDP exceeding 3 trillion yuan by 2030, looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan period. On January 4, 2026, the first working day of the year, Wuhan convened its "First Meeting of the New Year"—a city-wide promotion conference for the construction of the "Five Centers," proposing a full-force effort to build these centers, namely a National Economic Center, a National Science and Technology Innovation Center, a National Commerce and Logistics Center, an International Exchange Center, and a Regional Financial Center. It was learned from interviews that according to Wuhan's development goals, by 2030, the city's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will surpass 3 trillion yuan, the "Five Centers" will be basically completed, and decisive progress will be made in building a modern Greater Wuhan; by 2035, the "Five Centers" will be completed to a high standard, a modern Greater Wuhan will be essentially built, and the city will take the lead in basically realizing socialist modernization. Wuhan has proposed that accelerating the construction of a National Central City, going all out to build the "Five Centers," and comprehensively building a modern Greater Wuhan will be the central theme and main line of the city's work for the next five years and beyond, which is crucial for the overall situation and long-term development. It is understood that the "Wuhan Territorial Space Master Plan," previously approved by the State Council, assigned Wuhan the functional positioning of the "Five Centers." Furthermore, the "Proposals for the Formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan" released by the Hubei Provincial Committee also explicitly support Wuhan in accelerating the construction of a National Central City, going all out to build the "Five Centers," and better playing its leading and pioneering role.
