The Innovation in City Cluster Model

This book takes the Shenzhen Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone as a case study to research on the coordinated regional economic development. It provides a detailed introduction to the origin of the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, the development of enclave economy with Chinese characteristics, the differences between Chinese and foreign enclaves, and the theoretical evolution of enclave development. The book offers an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the Shenshan Cooperation Zone’s transition from “tripartite co-management” to “bilateral cooperation” and finally to “unilateral comprehensive leadership”. It elaborates on why the development of the Shenshan Cooperation Zone adopts a combined economic model that integrates the cultivation of endogenous innovation drivers with the establishment of regionally induced growth poles, industrial gradient transfer, and complementary factor endowments. The book also scientifically demonstrates the implementation path of “planning leading, infrastructure first, platform-driven development, and industry-city integration”. As a monograph that combines theoretical depth and practical insight, it systematically studies the development of enclave economy and offers significant reference value for the advancement of enclave economies.
