Abstract

In the new era, there will be great challenges for the economic development of the special economic zones from being “large” to becoming “strong”. The special economic zones entering the new era must be reorganized and re-examined regarding the existing development concepts under this condition, and the most suitable “development concept” for the new era should be explored—that is, from “getting rich” to “becoming stronger”. They should focus not only on the efficiency of economic growth but also on aspects including the capability for innovation, technology and culture, and environmental protection.

    According to the study of urban economics on the law of changes in city scale, city scale will only move slowly up and down along the distribution of city scale. Therefore, the scale for 2017 can be used to characterize the previous city scale. In addition, we believe that the information contained in the city scale has a Markov nature, that is, the latest city scale contains the information necessary to reveal future development.
