Economy

[edit]

Qingshan District has been described as Wuhan's industrial hub, it is home to Qingshan shipyard of China Changjiang National Shipping (Group) Corporation and a factory of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation.[4] Its eight 'pillar industries' are metallurgy, chemical manufacture, environmental protection, electric power, machinery, shipping, construction, and building materials.[8]

Environment

[edit]

Due to its history as an industrial base, the district is considered severely polluted with heavy metals.[8][9] The local air quality has been improved in recent years but is still considered to exceed acceptable levels and is among the worst of Wuhan's districts.[10][11]

The district is a demo area of the sponge city concept to reduce flooding.[12][13]
