measures to limit carbon-footprints of newly designed architectures, construct zoological
amusement parks to protect endangered species and enhance their living environments.
Or recognize areas with complex biodiversity, to avoid reclamation near the region.
Implementing miniature forests inside parks can also create homes to native species. They will
not only offer a precious recreational space but improve one’s well-being and mental health.
Urban renewal can also offer highly competitive and valuable commercial land, increasing
development density by folds. Farmlands can be released and converted to skyscrapers, as
there’s already infrastructures built around.
Another determining factor is the nation’s take and policies on free markets and
immigration, especially free trade. Free and convenient visas is a pulling factor for businesses,
too. Multi-national corporations always focus on their expansion and market share in different
countries, and construct branch offices to enhance their revenue. If China collaborates with
other regions on seamless, tax-free cargo transport, China will earn a hefty boost on it’s
growing sum of capital. More and more companies will nurture their businesses in Shenzhen,
which contribute to the GBA’s GDP. Free immigration and departure policies will result in a
more cohesive city-cluster of the GBA, operating it in the most effective manner.
Last but definitely not the least, it depends on China if democracy and clear judicial
systems are granted to the public. These values have enormous impacts on corporations that
originate from countries with justice. They will take additional considerations if China is
holding onto being an oligarch government. Dictatorship isn’t always worse than elections
because it’s highly efficient in processing issues, unlike democratic regions, which have
more upkeep in terms of the government. For example, Singapore is a mature financial hub
with numerous unique headquarters amongst South-East Asia, but I bet you don’t know
Singapore’s government is dictatorial! Imperialistic nations may even surpass others, if only
the leaders care about social issues, and don’t be a maniac in manufacturing nuclear devices
like Kim-Jong-Un. If anything, I would say authoritarian empires are the ‘high risk, high
reward’. Fair judging systems are also essential to a prosperous GBA, as assets and properties
are insured by the law. The overseas investors will be more than willing to participate in
finances, sustaining GBA’s steady growth and innovation in the long run.
The GBA is a vast vision and opportunity for everyone, does China ever take a grasp on
it, only depends on the nation’s actions on revising its strategies on balancing development
and conservation, how its’ will to open up its borders to the globe, and how does it improve
on legal systems. The plans are the foundations of prosperous, utopian heaven.
