	Yangtze river delta loses luster
		The dynamic Yangtze river delta, where the economic hub of Shanghai perches, has lost some of its momentum due to the bursting of the property bubble, but authorities expect its economic expansion -- though slower -- to become more efficient and sustainable.
		The delta's downsliding, though somewhat attributed to poor property performance, is primarily the "outburst of structural problems", analysts say.
		The Yangtze river delta includes Shanghai and another 15 fast growing cities in neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, all of which are located at the mouth of this longest river in China.

	River delta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A delta is the mouth of a river where it flows into an ocean, sea, desert or lake, building outwards (as a deltaic deposit) from sediment carried by the river and deposited as the water current is dissipated.
		Deltaic deposits of larger, heavily-laden rivers are characterised by the river channel dividing into multiple streams (distributaries), these divide and come together again to form a maze of active and inactive channels.
		Other rivers with notable deltas include the Ganges/Brahmaputra combination (this delta spans most of Bangladesh and West Bengal), the Niger, the Amazon, the Mississippi, the Sacramento-San Joaquin, the Rhine, the Rhône, the Danube, the Ebro, the Volga, the Lena, the Tigris-Euphrates, the Indus, the Krishna-Godavari, the Kaveri, the Ayeyarwady, and the Mekong.

		The Yangtze River Delta (Chinese 长江三角洲/長江三角洲 chángjiāng sānjiǎozhōu) or Yangtze Delta, generally comprises the triangular-shaped territory of Shanghai, southern Jiangsu province and northern Zhejiang province.

		Because of the large population of the delta, and factories, farms, and other cities upriver, the World Wildlife Fund says the Yangtze Delta is the biggest cause of marine pollution in the Pacific Ocean.

		By Sam Ng The competition for economic primacy of China is largely between the Pearl River Delta that surrounds Hong Kong and the Yangtze River Delta, the hinterland that surrounds Shanghai, China's largest city and, until the Communists took over in 1949, the country's commercial capital.
