Guangdong to ‘Actively Align’ with Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis Megaproject

Guangdong will “actively align” with Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis strategy, a major development project, as part of the province’s next five-year plan. The Guangdong provincial government published its development blueprint on Tuesday, dedicating an entire chapter to regional cooperation. The term “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area” appears 57 times in the document, signaling strong support for cross-border integration. The blueprint outlines priorities for the 2026-2030 period, focusing on collaboration in infrastructure, economy, and social development. This alignment aims to boost connectivity and growth across the Greater Bay Area, a key economic zone in southern China.
