THE National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is working with other parties to accelerate the approval of development projects for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, an official said Friday.

A comprehensive planning system will be gradually established, involving projects for the region in aspects like infrastructural connectivity, ecological and environmental protection, industrial development and inter-city railway, said Meng Wei, spokeswoman for the NDRC.

The Greater Bay Area international science and technology innovation center is being erected gradually, based on “two corridors” and “two points,” she said.

The “two corridors” refer to the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong science and technology innovation corridor and the Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao science and technology innovation corridor, she said.

The “two points” refer to the Lok Ma Chau Loop, which occupies a strategic location on the border of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and Hengqin, which is located in Zhuhai in southern Guangdong Province and is next door to Macao.

The Greater Bay Area’s infrastructural connectivity has been strengthened, she said, noting that a series of infrastructure projects have been completed or are under construction.

More efforts will be made to build a quality living circle for living, working and traveling in the area, she said.(Xinhua)
