武汉位于中国中部，是湖北省省会和政治、经济及文化中心。世界第三大河长江及其最大的支流汉水在此相汇，市区由隔江鼎立的武昌、汉口、汉阳三部分组成，通称武汉三镇。唐代大诗人李白的一句“黄鹤楼中吹玉笛，江城五月落梅花”，使这座中国腹地的特大中心城市自古有着“江城”的美誉。全市现辖 13 个区、 3 个国家级开发区（武汉经济技术开发区、东湖新技术开发区、吴家山台商投资区），总面积 8494 平方公里，常住人口 858 万人。 武汉的城市文明历史可追溯到 3500 年前的盘龙城。这是长江流域发掘出的最古老的城池，被学者认为是长江流域文明和黄河流域文明融合的突破口。3500 年间，因水运发达，物产丰富，这里从来就是兵家必争之地，并由军事中心进而发展为区域性政治商贸中心，武汉也因此拥有融汇多元文化的优势和特质。辛亥革命的首义文化铸就了武汉人敢为天下先的人文精神。
武汉是一座典型的山水园林城市。上百座大小山峦遍布三镇，近两百个湖泊座落其间，水域面积占到全市国土面积的四分之一，居全国大城市之首。其中东湖水域面积 33 平方公里，是中国最大的城中湖。
武汉历来被称为＂九省通衢＂之地，是中国内陆最大的水陆空交通枢纽．它距离北京，上海，广州，成都，西安等中国大城市都在 １０００公里 左右，是中国经济地理的＂心脏＂，具有承东启西、沟通南北、维系四方的作用。巨大的区位交通优势推动了武汉现代物流业的快速发展。以建设国家级物流枢纽城市为目标，合理规划布局以现代物流园区、物流中心、配送中心为节点的现代物流体系，武汉作为联结国内外两个市场和促进中国东、中、西部互动的桥梁纽带功能逐步显现
武汉是中国重要的工业基地。现已形成门类比较齐全、配套能力较强的工业体系。武汉正在大力发展现代制造业，着力推进产业技术升级、集群发展。重点发展钢铁、汽车及机械装备、电子信息、石油化工、环保、烟草及食品、家电、纺织服装、医药、造纸及包装印刷十大主导产业。同时运用产业政策，引导企业向园区集中。重点发展钢铁化工及环保产业聚集区、汽车及机电产业聚集区、光电子及生物医药产业聚集区、食品工业聚集区、都市工业聚集区。一批年销售收入过百亿元的大型企业，以及一批拥有核心技术的“武汉制造”知名品牌正在涌现。
武汉是国家重要的科教基地之一，科教综合实力居全国大城市第三位。拥有包括武汉大学、华中科技大学等 52 所普通高校， 70 万在校大学生。成人高校在校学生近 12 万人。各类科研机构 106 所，国家实验室 1 个，国家级重点实验室 13 个，在汉中国科学院与工程院院士 47 名。智力资源和人力资源十分丰富，“武汉·中国光谷”所在地武汉东湖地区是我国第二大智力密集区，在光通讯、生物工程、激光、微电子技术和新型材料等领域，科技开发实力处于全国领先地位。
