Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled China''s Extended Metropolitan Regions: Formation and Delimitation Submitted by ZHENG Yanting for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in October 2007 Almost 20 years have passed since the first investigation on regional in situ economic development, i.e. extended metropolitan region (EMR) formation was published. Most of the related studies focused on the functional features of the EMR, either on its economic transformation as a whole, or its feature of urban and rural mixture, which has often led to confusing with the concepts of megalopolis, desakota, or a cluster of cities. Setting out from a spatial perspective, this study has provided an alternative definition for the EMR concept: the EMR is distinctively a dispersed regional concentration with the involvement of the ''remote rural areas'' into in situ industrialization as a response to globalization. Under this new and more restricted definition, traditional metropolitan growth is not considered as aspects of EMR formation. Additionally, the continuously dispersed feature distinguishes the EMR from the polycentric city region in the DCs. Using national demographic data by county in China, we have tested our hypothetical framework. Through the examination of the regional concentration tendency (based on population and migration dynamics) and region-based urban transition (based on non-agricultural transformation in terms of employment, and underestimation of urbanization), we find that there is a dispersed regional concentration in three urban regions in China, i.e. Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Using China''s matured EMRs, the PRD and the YRD as cases, temporal and spatial analyses based on county-level demographic, economic and land use data have been conducted to further verify our hypothetical spatial pattern of the EMR. We find that there is centripetal concentration in the EMRs in 1990-2000, which can be indicated both by population/net migration and by non-agricultural transformation of land use. This spatial tendency is found to be consistent temporally and spatially with their integration with globalization, and rapid economic growth and restructuring of their spatial units. Consequently, the spatial units within the EMRs have become wealthier and more non-agricultural in character, which have acted as a global platform as a whole, than the outside counties within the same province. Moreover, the designated rural areas within the PRD have also displayed regional concentration of population and migration, in situ economic development and restructuring, and global features more dramatically than those in the outside counties in the same province. Together with the land use dispersion index, the feature of regional continuously dispersed in situ development of the EMR has been verified. Multiple regression analyses suggest that the spatial pattern of concentration and dispersion is shaped both by global forces, in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, and by local forces, such as the roles of industrialization, population density as shown in land use dispersion and urbanization in population concentration. The in situ economic transformation in the ''remote rural areas'' is mainly owing to both dramatic concentration and economic development of the EMR. In a word, the EMR is shaped by bo

In June 2004, top leaders from Guangdong and the surrounding eight provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hainan, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian, together with those of the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao, met in Hong Kong, Macao, and Guangzhou and gave birth to Pan-PRD regional grouping (hence the shorthand of "9+2"). This book studies the establishment, amid much fanfare, of this new regional grouping, and its roots in the interaction between globalization and regionalization.

Adaptations of the Metropolitan Landscape in Delta Regions is about environmental quality and the long term livability of urban areas. In decades to come, climate change will affect cities everywhere, but nowhere have the effects of climate change already been felt as strongly as in low-lying coastal cities, cities located in large river deltas and near tidal estuaries. This book reflects on the contribution that spatial planning and urban design can make to a complex discussion about how city form and landscapes will need to adapt within metropolitan areas. The book’s focus is on the urban form of three delta regions: the Pearl River Delta in Southern China; the Rhine, Maas, and Scheldt Delta in the Netherlands; and the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. The three regions differ greatly, but despite their different political systems, history, culture and locations in three different climate zones, all three regions will be forced to respond to similar issues that will trigger transformations and adaptations to their urban form. Richly illustrated in color with detailed diagrams, models, photographs and sketches, the book is written for students, scholars and practitioners of environmental planning, and designers who need to respond to the future form of cities in light of climate change. For the professions shaping the physical world of cities and regions, the challenge is not only one of designing physical geometries but of social consequences.

The Zhujiang Delta region is the natural hinterland of Hong Kong. It has experienced astonishing growth since 1978 after the introduction of economic reforms and the open policy in China. Its subsequent development is, in many ways, closely related with that of Hong Kong. In fact, far-reaching economic integration has taken place between Hong Kong and the Zhujiang Delta. After China's entry to the WTO on December 11, 2001, such economic integration will be further strengthened. A world-class city-region is being formed around the Hong Kong and Zhujiang Delta area. Pressing issues and concerns of effective resource management, governance and sustainability are emerging due to accelerated industrialization, urbanization, globalization and regional integration. They will affect the future development and prosperity of the region. The book is a collective effort by leading scholars from Hong Kong, Mainland China, USA and Germany and offers updated and in-depth analyses of economic integration, migration, urbanization, regional development, resource management and urban/regional governance in the Hong Kong-Zhujiang Delta region in the context of development and transformation of Hong Kong and Mainland China.
