Features: The central theme of this book is regional development in the era of technological revolution. Under the conditions of modern scientific and technological progress, regional development faces two prominent issues: one is how to make full use of regional resources and improve the efficiency of resource utilization; the other is how to adapt to new market and competitive situations under the trends of knowledge economy and economic globalization. Around these two issues, the book presents a comprehensive discussion, with the basic idea being that regional development should, on one hand, develop science and technology based on the characteristics of the region, and on the other hand, promote regional development and economic progress through technological innovation. This book is suitable for graduate and undergraduate students in universities, as well as researchers and practitioners in relevant fields.
