NEW YORK, May 5 (Xinhua) The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in south China has a very positive outlook with large-scale investment and unified planning, a senior U.S. expert in transportation policy and urban planning said Tuesday.
China s massive investment in world-class infrastructure from high-speed rail to top-tier international airports will pay off handsomely over time, said Robert Cervero, professor emeritus with City and Regional Planning Faculty of University of California, Berkeley. China s strong legacy of unified master planning from cities to industries to education will likely give it a competitive edge in the global marketplace over time, especially in the Greater Bay Area, said Cervero.
