After giving an introduction and conducting a literature review, the paper proposes a pole-axis-network system model guiding the entire study. On the one hand, the HSR projects in the YRD Megaregion are expected to generate significant efficiency-related transportation and non-transportation benefits. As a result, the spillover effects from Shanghai and other major cities (poles) will greatly promote the urban and regional developments along the major HSR corridors (axes), and the entire megaregion will become more integrated economically, socially, and culturally. But, on the other hand, the HSR projects will also create serious social and geographic inequity issues, which need to be addressed as soon as possible in a proper way. This empirical study confirms the PANS model proposed.Of all Chinese megaregions, the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) Megaregion (1% of national land) occupies the most prominent position in terms of its economic strength (20% of national gross domestic products) and population size (6% of national populati
