Features: How developing regions can successfully pursue industrialization and how to coordinate among regions to promote rapid economic development is a major research topic. This book conducts an in-depth study on the theory of industrialization counter-gradient promotion from the perspective of regional industrial clusters. It discusses the development history, economic performance, formation conditions of industrial clusters, as well as the new characteristics and developments in the process of industrialization counter-gradient promotion. The book proposes theories and strategies for developing regions to achieve industrialization counter-gradient promotion and ultimately achieve coordinated regional development through industrial clusters. Furthermore, it provides systematic analysis and discussion on how industrial clusters can enhance the growth poles of developing regions, high-tech development zones, and regional innovation systems. It also conducts empirical analyses of the application of industrial clusters in the rise of central regions, economic cooperation between Hunan and Guangdong, and the economic integration of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan. This book offers theoretical guidance and practical reference value for China on how to drive industrialization through industrial clusters to achieve coordinated regional economic development, especially for the rapid and healthy development of developing regions.
