Abstract
Since the reform and opening-up policy, China has systematically promoted the development and construction of economic and technological development zones, high-tech industrial development zones, and various types of industry-focused functional parks by drawing on successful international models and integrating them with China’s context. This has been carried out from the central government to local governments to foster the clustering of regional industries, facilitate industrial upgrading, drive large-scale employment, increase GDP, generate continuous tax revenue, and accelerate urbanization. These efforts have been pivotal in transforming local economies and enhancing China’s competitive advantage in the global market. The author, with 20 years of experience in the development and operation of industrial parks in China, has a deep understanding of the significant role that industrial park development plays in local economic growth. This extensive experience offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of planning, managing, and optimizing industrial parks to maximize their economic impact.
This paper will be based on the development experience of Chinese industrial parks and the author’s professional background, employing tools such as traditional industrial cluster theory and emerging industry innovation theory. It will conduct an in-depth analysis of the development model of Chinese industrial parks and their mechanisms in forming industry clusters, explore the key factors contributing to the success of industrial parks, and establish a model system applicable to the development of industrial parks in China. The goal is to provide insights that help stakeholders understand the development experience of Chinese industrial parks, enabling local governments and park developers to make informed decisions, undertake rational investments, and implement professional operations to achieve sustainable development of industrial parks. Additionally, this analysis aims to offer a framework for identifying potential challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of industrial development.
