“…The term 'economic corridor' refers to an integrated network of infrastructure, including but not confined to transport infrastructure, providing "connections between economic nodes or hubs" Brunner (2013). The port, together with the industrial area immediately adjacent to it might be considered a hub, but the highway system connected to it, with infrastructure investments in electricity and water located along this highway system created an economic corridor consisting of the outskirts of Bangkok itself and the seven additional provinces lying in a semi-circle to the east and north of Bangkok, all linked to the Laem Chabang port.…”

We argue that the success of Thailand's export-oriented automotive industry was based on three factors. First was the substantial public investment in productivity-raising port facilities and related infrastructure, beginning in the 1990s, that constituted the Eastern Seaboard economic corridor. The second was the exchange rate depreciation that accompanied the 1997-99 Asian Financial Crisis.Jointly, these two factors made manufacturing production for export more profitable. The third was two key policy changes adopted by the Thai government shortly after the crisis, and partly in response to it: (a) abolition of restrictions on foreign ownership, and (b) abolition of local content requirements.

Since the end of apartheid, inter‐metropolitan corridors have become a cornerstone in the spatial development policy framework of cities in South Africa. Integrated Development Plans are central in this process and form a strategic element of the National Development Plan 2030. Using 2001 and 2011 census data, this study investigates socio‐economic conditions along the designated Western Development Corridor of the City of Johannesburg. The purpose of the study is to determine the extent to which pre‐existing conditions were conducive to its designation as a development corridor and to assess the appropriateness of the policy to achieve its goals as a “Freedom Corridor.”

“…The reason behind this problem is that there lacks a cooperation mechanism and organization for the operation of this mechanism for the BCIM Economic Corridor which lead to the indecision in construction of the Economic Corridor [2]. Therefore, accelerating the construction of the cooperation mechanism of the BCIM Economic Corridor will serve as the basis and most important task for promoting the construction of the Economic Corridor.…”

Abstract-Since the authority of China and India proposed the BCIM economic cooperation in 2013, the four countries have reached a consensus on construction of economic cooperation, and they conducted a series of discussions and research. As a sub-regional economic cooperation mechanism, BCIMEC is involved in four countries. In order to ensure successfully propelling multilateral cooperation, it is crucial to focus on the construction of cooperation mechanisms, for cooperation mechanism is the foundation and guarantee for smooth and sustainable propelling of BCIMEC.
