Workshop on China's Changing Regional Development: Trends, Strategies and Challenges in the 12th Five Year Plan Period
As the 12th Five Year Plan is being drawn, it is imperative to examine China's changing pattern in regional development as it is expediting economic transformation and integrating further with the global economy.

(a) the governance of economic and regional development in China's major economic regions,
(b) the rapid development of infrastructure and its relations with urban and regional development,
(c) the growth of key economic sectors such as the producer services, and
(d) the policy rationale behind readjustments in China's spatial and regional development strategy and its relationship with national development planning.
