Urban China Series Featuring Yuan Qifeng: Cross-Border Competition and Governance in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau

September 19, 2023 @ 8:30 am 10:00 am

Speaker: Yuan Qifeng, Professor, School of Architecture, South China University of Technology

This talk will be conducted in Mandarin.

The concept of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau signifies a national strategic focus on the governance of one country with two systems, three customs zones, and across eleven urban regions. However, within this geographic scope, cooperation and competition among cities have been ongoing. Since 2008, the provincial government has been working on the integration of infrastructure among nine mainland cities in the Pearl River Delta. Inter-city competition has posed challenges to regional integration, particularly due to the unique “administrative economics” in China. This talk primarily discusses the impact on regional structure of several Shenzhen initiatives and Guangzhou’s responses thereto: namely, Shenzhen’s innovative city building and the development of the Qianhai CBD, as well as Guangzhou’s designation of Nansha as a “significant strategic platform” of the Greater Bay Area in 2022.

袁奇峰:粤港澳大湾区的跨界竞争与治理

新德里时间9月19日下午6点

粤港澳大湾区概念的提出标志着一国两制、三个关税区、11个城市区域的治理成为国家战略,但这一地理范畴内的一体化合作与竞争一直在持续。自2008年以来,珠江三角洲由省级政府推动了9市基础设施的一体化,城市间的竞争十分激烈,中国特色的行政区经济成为区域一体化的障碍。本讲重点讨论深圳的创新城市建设和前海开发对区域结构的改变,以及广州通过2022年建立南沙为“深化粤港澳全面合作,立足湾区、协同港澳、面向世界的重大战略性平台”的一系列应对策略。
