Shenzhen, as one of China's most successful special economic zone cities, has provided many experiences for China's reform and opening-up during its 25-year development. As one of China's fastest-developing cities, Shenzhen has also encountered many problems that other domestic cities have not yet faced but will inevitably encounter. Together with Hong Kong and Macao, the Greater Bay Area in the Pearl River Delta region of China's inland is the fastest-developing and most significant area in terms of urbanization and industrialization in China and the world.
