Implementation effects of China's national strategic regional planning

The national strategic regional plan does not only drive the regional economy, but also nurtures a group of new economic growth poles. It also plays a significant role in enhancing the degree of regional integration.

Though every regional plan has its focus, they always encourage construction projects and preferential policies. Regional planning is mostly development oriented. Construction projects in the regional plans are the driving forces of the regional development. Also, the allocation of regional preferential policies is a representative aspect of the national strategy, especially the comprehensive revolution pilot zone. The regional preferential policy is the core of regional planning. Since implementation duration of the regional plan is still short, the report is a preliminary analysis, but not a comprehensive evaluation.
