“…Para que el modelo de zonas económicas sea exitoso en el largo plazo debe contribuir con la transformación estructural de la economía local a través de sus efectos multiplicadores, entre los cuales se deben considerar: la diversificación productiva, la apertura comercial, la transferencia de tecnología hard y soft entre la economía local y los inversionistas de la zona. Asimismo, se debe promover el desarrollo de habilidades directivas y la capacitación del capital humano; la creación de clústeres industriales y la integración de cadenas de valor regionales; el apoyo a las instituciones público-privadas, tanto sectoriales como transversales; y garantizar que los mercados de trabajo faciliten la movilidad de mano de obra calificada entre las empresas, cambios que requerirán políticas públicas efectivas (Bräutigam y Tang, 2014;Farole, 2011b;Ortega, Acielo y Hermida, 2015).…”

“…Given the emergence of this new strategic terrain, recent studies have called for a restructuring of the conventional urban frameworks and treating megaregions as possible contextual frontiers for urban theorization [4,25,26]. Despite the successive promulgation and implementation of megaregional planning in China, relevant research has just begun, with much more attention focused on population and industrial/employment agglomerations than on functional and/or integrative characteristics [27,28].…”

Megaregions are the new engines of global and regional economic growth, and they often are considered a principal urbanization platform in China. To understand megaregional processes’ responses to China’s regional policies, this study focused on two aspects of integration development in the Central Yangtze River megaregion between 2000 and 2014: The internal collaborative networks using enterprises’ headquarters-branch locations as a proxy measurement and the role of regional transportation in the integration networks. Based on a three-step network analysis, the Central Yangtze River megaregion was increasingly similar to a polycentric urban system with Wuhan, Changsha, and Nanchang as the dominant service cities, and there were some indications of a preliminary urban network formation. However, integration development remained a government-led administrative process with administrative boundaries that significantly influenced the network structure. A panel regression analysis further suggested that transportation accessibility to the three central cities was the key determinant of network participation for the peripheral cities compared to economic performance. This work contributes to the debate on the hierarchical-administrative properties of China’s megaregions and transportation implications of the economic integration process.

“…In recent decades the Philippines have been subject to investment-oriented policies and programs, which in turn have encouraged the conversion of the use of land and the creation of special economic zones (SEZs) to attract foreign capital (see Ortega, 2016;Kelly, 2000). Across the country, vast tracts of land have been identified and planned as sites of SEZs (see Ortega, Acielo & Hermida, 2015). These projects are contained in master plans that carry the state's vision for these spaces and are rendered powerful as they tend to override other visions and claims made by residents.…”

Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes! But we' ve got our brave Captain to thank (So the crew would protest) "that he' s bought us the best-A perfect and absolute blank!" Milestones for the fusion of art maps and counter-cartography are, among others, the works of Öyvind Fahlström (since the 1970s) and Mark Lombardi (1990s) (see article page 26). These artists notably contributed to the new wave of counter-cartographies that emerged with the new millennium. They included, for example, the Bureau d'Études (see article page 26) and hackitectura.net 5. Currently, the Argentinian art and research duo Iconoclasistas plays a major role in the dissemination of counter-cartographies. Introduction Editorial-This Is Not an Atlas (2001-2006) the Grupo de Arte Callejero actively participated in the escraches, which translates into acts of public shaming to condemn the injustice, violence and genocides committed during the military dictatorship (see grupodeartecallejero.wordpress.com). 7. Some examples for relevant indigenous mapping projects and groups from different regions are The Nunavut Atlas (Riewe, 1992), The Maya Atlas (Toledo Maya Cultural Council, 1997), Aboriginal Mapping Network (nativemaps.org) and Nova Cartografia Social da Amazonia (see article page 46). It seems that China is the only region around the world with an indigenous population but without an indigenous counter-mapping culture (Rundstrom, 2009: 316). Counter-Cartographies Politics, Art and the Insurrection of Maps André Mesquita andremesquita.redezero.org flows of power systems, monopolies and administrative networks. The maps of these collectives give us an idea about which forms of counter-power we need to create and what social struggles are, as they are much more than mere representations. In order to create counter-cartographies, their practices invert sovereignty of a cartography of control. And, in fact, these maps can also be seen as starting points for subversive actions.
