      abstract = {This is an open access book. This book, first of all,  introduces the new unveiled Guangdong-Macao Intensive  Cooperation Zone with details as a special mode of the  regional collaborative development that is committed to be  mutually beneficial to both sides with different political  and economic systems. China's central authorities have  recently issued a masterplan for constructing the  Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone at Hengqin  Island in September 2021. As China's first and last  European colony and one of China's two special  administrative regions (SARs), Macao has developed the  gambling industry seven times larger than that of Las  Vegas. However, the problem of the homogeneous industrial  structure and the urgent need to promote sustainable  economic growth by regional cooperation have been important  theoretical and practical issues discussed by scholars and  policy-makers. The Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation  Zone (ICZ) is managed under special customs supervision  between two boarder lines and expected to diversify Macao's  economy. Then, this book dissects the theory of regional  synergistic development and its applications in a number of  international comparative and cross-interdisciplinary case  studies worldwide. Finally, from the perspective of land  use, transportation connection, and social service, this  book thoroughly explores the challenges and strategies to  implement the new cooperation model within the framework of  one country, two systems, two customs, and two currencies  to achieve a win-win situation using updated first-hand  data collected by literature review, case study, field  survey, spatial analysis, and interview.--},
