Features: This book takes the promotion of coordinated economic spatial development as its research focus. Based on the elaboration and analysis of general regional economic activities and major regional economic theories, it combines practical development realities and applies SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats analysis) to conduct a thorough and in-depth analysis of Northeast China, the eastern coastal regions, central China, and western China. The book is divided into two parts, comprising nine chapters. Grounded in a balance between reality and respect for history, the author proposes development strategies for these regions in the new historical era: localized equilibrium and global non-equilibrium for Northeast China; regional network enhancement and interregional point-axis diffusion for the eastern coastal regions; line-point-surface comprehensive gradient advancement for central China; and line-point-surface-line models for western China. This book can serve as a teaching material for undergraduate and graduate students in the field of regional economics. For government officials analyzing regional economic issues, as well as Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and investors seeking to understand China's regional environment and analyze the characteristics of regional economic development, this book is an invaluable reference work with comprehensive data, cutting-edge methodologies, and meticulous arguments.
