Abstract

“Main functional zone” is a new concept and key initiative underpinning the national land use plan and regional development strategy. Planning and building main functional zones presents new opportunities and challenges for the massive development of western China, which is in a strategic transition phase at the present time. It is therefore necessary to pursue scientific policy design and management and improve coordination and interaction between central and local governments and across regions in order to promote linkages between the massive development of western China and the construction of main functional zones.

Keywords: Great Western Development, Main Functional Zones, Positive Interaction
