Section 3   Radiating the Development to the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region

To leverage the radiating and leading function of the GBA, coordinate the productivity layout of the nine PRD municipalities and eastern, western and northern GD, and foster development in nearby areas at a faster pace. To develop a key economic support zone with the GBA as its vanguard and the Pearl River-Xijiang economic zone as its hinterland, propel development in South Central China and Southwest China as well as Southeast and Southern Asia. To improve the transport network from the GBA to other provinces and regions in the Pan-PRD region, enhance regional cooperation, progressively develop “enclave economies”, facilitate the flow of factors of production and relocation of industries in the Pan-PRD region, and establish a stratified and complementary industrial cooperation system with a reasonable division of labour. To rely on coastal railways, high-grade motorways and major ports, and achieve synergistic development between the GBA and the Western Taiwan Strait as well as the Beibu Bay city clusters. To rely on transport routes such as high-speed rails, mainline railways and motorways, deepen cooperation and exchange between the GBA and the South Central Region and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and strengthen the radiating and driving effect of the GBA on the Southwest Region.
