planning, construction and management processes of residential areas to make them
eco-friendly. The distribution of public utilities shall be coordinated between urban
and rural areas based on service range and population size. We need to increase
the coverage and density of municipal infrastructure and improve their quality to
satisfy residents’ daily needs. We must promote energy conservation and recycling
and improve the environment in residential areas to build an eco-friendly bay area
that is energy-efficient and beautiful.
3. Pursue innovation-driven development to make the Greater Bay Area a
technology hub
In accordance with the Plan, a technological innovation circle comprising
Guangzhou-Dongguan, Huizhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao, and ZhuhaiZhongshan-Jiangmen-Foshan city clusters will be established in the Greater Bay
Area. Advance should be faster to form innovation cooperation zones in Nansha of
Guangzhou, Qianhai of Shenzhen, and Lok Ma Chau Loop and Hengqin of Zhuhai,
and develop major innovation platforms such as in the Songshan Lake area in Dongguan, the Sino-German Industrial Services Zone in Foshan, and Huizhou Tonghu
Ecological Smart Zone. Taking the opportunity of building Shenzhen and the Pearl
River Delta into national innovation demonstration zones, efforts should be made
to foster innovation clusters in major equipment manufacturing, telecommunication
and information, smart manufacturing, biomedicine and other industries. The Greater
Bay Area must pool and make full use of technology and innovation resources from
around the world, improve the development models for cross-regional cooperation
and innovation, and develop an open and international innovation system. We need
to build a community for innovation and cooperation in the Greater Bay Area, and
accelerate the development of the Pearl River Delta National Innovation Demonstration Zone, so as to push the Greater Bay Area towards the position of an international
technology and innovation hub.
In the new era, cities in the Greater Bay Area must strive for a better regional
innovation system with sound division of labor, leverage the advantages of the four
innovation centers of the Hong Kong SAR, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Macao SARZhuhai to promote innovation and enhance international cooperation in this regard;
take an active part in the global innovation network, and build the Greater Bay Area
into a global technology and innovation hub. Support should be provided for the
Hong Kong SAR to become a world-class innovation center in the services sector.
The Greater Bay Area should serve to gather first-class innovation resources to form
networks and invite more first-class organizations and research institutes from the
Chinese mainland. Efforts should be made to support the implementation of national
projects and the development of innovation platforms in the region, speed up the
attraction, integration and development of innovation resources, and improve the
network for integrated innovation and cooperation. Relevant entities in the region
are encouraged to undertake major science and technology projects to contribute to
the development of an international science and innovation platform. The Greater
Bay Area needs to build laboratories and engineering centers to improve its primary
