Abstract: Abstract for dissertation entitled A Comparative Study of the Roles of Hong Kong and Shanghai in the Economic Integration of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta Submitted by Lai Yin Sheung for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Hong Kong in June 2006 The implementation of the open door policy enabled China to reestablish contacts with the world. Selected coastal cities were able to engage in foreign trade and receive foreign investment. Under the force of globalization and the new international division of labor, China had achieved rapid economic growth since 1978. Today, China is nicknamed the world's factory. Its export-oriented manufacturing industries located in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) have contributed a major share of the global output in consumer electronics and apparels industries etc. The two delta regions are regarded as the growth engines of China although different development paths were traced. The development of the PRD is the result of spontaneous investment from foreign sources while the YRD is a designated project under state directives. However, each region has a core city to facilitate economic integration. Hong Kong, Asia's World city, is the core city of the PRD whereas Shanghai, host city of the World Expo 2010, is the dragonhead of the YRD. Apart from the long history of foreign interaction, Hong Kong and Shanghai have unique location advantages, entrepreneurial spirits, and other competitive advantages that out beat other cities in the regions as core cities. In fact, it is the competitive advantages of the core cities that play the key roles in fostering economic integration and cooperation in the delta regions such as being the source of capital, service hub, and transportation and communication center. The prospects of the two regions are rested on the local and international environments. The complexity of the 'One Country, Two Systems' arrangement and the multi-level administrations are believed to be the hindrance to effective implementation of cross-border projects of Hong Kong and the rest of the PRD cities in the Mainland. For the YRD, although Shanghai is the chosen dragonhead of the region and the development within the region is comparatively coordinated, conflicts between cities exist. The joining of the World Trade Organization means more liberal trade measures would be taken in China, however, regions and cities are exposed to fierce competition and unprecedented opportunities for cooperation under globalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities and regions in Asia are facing problems that cannot be adequately managed by traditional urban planning. Competition and local protectionism have often hindered infrastructural development and regional integration. In southern China, an area embracing one-fifth of China and one-third of its population, the economies and societies of nine provinces, together with Hong Kong and Macao, face many barriers to regional collaboration. Fiscal regulatory conflicts, land and housing reform, and bottlenecks in immigration and transport have stymied efforts to develop infrastructure that could spur economic growth and greater prosperity for the entire region. This book examines regional integration and its barriers in southern China in a comparative framework using perspectives on development and globalization from Europe and North America. With its contributions from leading researchers and practitioners in the field, the book will appeal to students, academics and policymakers interested in urban and regional planning, geography, sociology, public administration and development studies.

"A timely and much-needed volume on a region of growing importance. Supported by helpful maps and charts, this collection discusses the theory, challenges, and practice of development in an area comprising nearly a third of China's population. The comparative framework, drawing on experiences from Europe and the United States, is particularly valuable." -- Linda McCarthy, co-author ofUrbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography

Book excerpt: Hong Kong SAR's economic integration with the Mainland has primarily taken place in the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Taking stock of integration trends, this paper discusses key implications for ensuring economic benefits of further integration are sustained and associated costs minimized. Besides further investments in infrastructure, Hong Kong SAR's role as a producers services and finance hub will depend on frictionless movements of goods, services, people and know-how, requiring policy coordination to further promote trade and investment and developing a common human skills base with the PRD. Regional cooperation will also be needed to minimize the costs of rising levels of cross-border pollution.

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled A Comparative Study of the Business Environment of Guangzhou and Shanghai Submitted by Lee Yin Yi, Joey For the degree of Master of Arts (China Area Studies) at The University of Hong Kong in June 2004 Since the late 1970s, under Deng's rule, the central government has decided to develop Guangdong as the 'one step ahead' in China. Having fully benefited from the support of the central government, Guangdong, in particular the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region has successfully built up its favourable business environment and has enjoyed the great economic growth since the 1980s. Among various cities in the PRD, the provincial capital Guangzhou, has incessantly gained the dominant position in economic growth. After consolidating the economic position of southern China, the Yangtze River Delta has become another centre attention to the central government in the national development programme since the 1990s. By opening Pudong and positioning Shanghai as the leader of the Yangtze River Region for attracting domestic commerce and foreign investment, the central government intended to create the Yangtze River Delta as another ideal business environment in China. The Yangtze Delta has successfully developed its favourable environment for business activities since the 1990s. Reviewing the twenty-year reform, the emergence of the successful business environment in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta for boosting economic and commercial activities seems to be the economic engine of the whole China's economic development. As the premier cities of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta respectively, the business environment of Guangzhou and Shanghai are the best representations of the new economic direction and situation in China, thus they serve as the worthwhile study topic in understanding China's contemporary development. The objective of this study is to examine the similarities and differences of Guangzhou and Shanghai in terms of business environment and to explore the economic importance of Guangzhou and Shanghai for China's development during the past two decades. Finally, this study can conclude that, in spite of many similarities, there is no direct competition occurred between Shanghai and Guangzhou in terms of business environment as their levels of development are somehow different. As long as Shanghai provides better conditions for upbringing the business environment, Shanghai enjoys the overall better development than Guangzhou. There is still a considerable gap for Guangzhou to catch up Shanghai in a short term. Nevertheless, there is little evidence that Shanghai is preferable to Guangzhou for operating business. Both cities carry their own economic uniqueness in their regions. Shanghai undeniably serves as the Asian metropolitan of China, whereas Guangzhou acts as the regional economic centre in southern China. Shanghai is the dragonhead of eastern China and involves more international business activities; Guangzhou mainly serves southern China and engages close interactions with Hong Kong and Macau.

This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically investigates the strategic significance and dynamic mechanisms present in the development of the Yangtze River Delta cluster, one of the major drivers of economic growth in China. The Yangtze River Delta is the most densely populated region in China, with the highest level of economic development. Against the background of China’s national strategy that aims to bolster and augment integrated development on the regional level, this study reviews the development process of the region and possible hindrances to further growth. From a wide array of dimensions, it assesses the key influencing factors, including institutional construction, governance mechanisms, spatial layout, government and corporate competition, the market environment, industrial linkages and synergies, collaborative innovation, public service, and social networks. Based on theoretical analysis and empirical studies, the book advances policy suggestions that help to solve the challenges for integrated development in the region. The volume will benefit scholars and students, as well as investors, business observers, and policy makers interested in the Chinese economy, regional economics, industrial economics, and economic geography.
