Abstract：Central China with six provinces is the biggest grain production base, and the main output area of energy power and raw material in China, so, it occupies the pivotal status in the developing domain of China. To coordinate regional development, and to achieve sustainable economic growth of China, Chinese government has implemented the major strategy called "the rise of Central China". Central China has 6 urban agglomerations:Zhongyuan urban agglomeration in Henan, Wuhan urban agglomeration in Hubei, Changzhutan urban agglomeration in Hunan, Huanpoyanghu urban agglomeration in Jiangxi, Wanjiang urban agglomeration in Anhui, and Taiyuan urban agglomeration in Shanxi. The correct choice for the realization of the rise of Central China is the integration development strategy, which gives impetus to urbanization advancement, and promotes the comprehensive, coordinated, sustainable development of Central China. The integration development of these urban agglomerations is playing an increasingly prominent role in the rise of Central China. Based on the analysis and appraisal of the realistic foundation and synthesis strength of 6 urban agglomerations in Central China, the paper proposes the overall intention and key problem for the integration development of these urban agglomerations. The overall frame of integration development is:taking Wuhan urban agglomeration as the central growth tectonic plates, taking Zhongyuan urban agglomeration and Changzhutan urban agglomeration as the north and south drawing growth tectonic plates, constructing two developing spindle belts along the transportation aortas, Jing-Guang Railroad and the Yangtze River golden waterway, joining forces of the six urban agglomerations and pushing mutually the rise of Central China, and finally, forming the spatial development pattern like an English character "Y".
