The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) refers to the area covered by nine cities in Guangdong province and the two special administrative regions (SARs) of Hong Kong and Macao. It is one of the most vibrant and international regions of contemporary China. In February 2019, China’s central government issued the outline development plan for the GBA. The plan envisaged an important role for the GBA in the next stage of China’s development, as a region which could help enhance China’s global competitiveness and innovation strengths. The existing strengths of this region, combined with this policy vision, point to many opportunities to build a modern, innovative and developed region.
The context is, however, a challenging one. Covid-19 came in the midst of an intensifying strategic rivalry between the US and China and challenges to globalisation as a major trend in international political economy. The central government has responded to these challenges with an economic strategy of “dual circulation” which emphasises the importance of domestic demand alongside a resilient approach to engaging with the global economy. Within the GBA, integration and connectivity remain constrained by a variety of institutional gaps and policy barriers. Hence the need for “smart” integration in the GBA. This will require policy innovation which responds to the global, national and local context. Co-organized by researchers at CUHK and CUHK Shenzhen, this symposium has engaged with the key policy and public debates across the range of issues facing the GBA development.
