Features: "The ding is a vessel of the state." From a spatial perspective, the pillars supporting the great ding of 21st-century China are the large urban agglomerations in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The economic and population centers of China will increasingly concentrate in these three urban agglomerations. The three urban agglomerations will become the largest and most densely populated urban spaces in human history, emerging as economic entities with a significant impact on the global economy. How to develop large-scale, high-density urban agglomerations and build efficient, human-centered civil society is a major challenge facing China in the 21st century. This book aims to explore the development of urban agglomerations in the context of global economic integration, the information revolution, and new manufacturing development models.
