Features: Regional spatial structure reorganization is one of the important contents of the reconstruction of socio-economic structure during the transformation period. Through a comprehensive study, important conclusions have been drawn: Under the background of transformation, the spatial reorganization of regional economy is an important means and approach for regional economic development; Regional spatial structure reorganization is achieved under the joint action of three sets of driving forces: the forces of globalization, the agglomeration force of related industries, and spatial interactions; Regional spatial structure reorganization is mainly realized through different approaches such as infrastructure construction and orderly industrial spatial transfer; Regional spatial structures at different scales—global, China's macro-regional, provincial, and local—should follow different logics and patterns of regional spatial structure reorganization, each with its own core issues. This book can be used by researchers in urban construction, urban and regional planning, urban geography, and urban economics, as well as by faculty and students of relevant majors in higher education institutions for reading and reference.
