Abstract

As the last of the three super city clusters in China, the Pearl River Delta city cluster is a significant economic node in the country. This city cluster has a robust dual-code structure economic development plan, which has guided its regional economic pathways beyond the borders of Mainland China. Aside from the general introduction to this city cluster, this chapter highlights the dual-core structure of the Pearl River Delta city cluster and its industrial significance. A micro-historical analysis and future development directions of this urban agglomeration are discussed in detail. We also cover challenges of sustainable economic development and discuss pathways to implementing and achieving the national-level carbon neutrality plan.
