This book examines how innovation and sustainability strategies
implemented in Suzhou Industrial Park drive and influence the regional
long-term economic growth. In the process of implementing export-led
growth, industrial parks located in various regions in China have become
very vital players, among which Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) has now
developed as a leading and model industrial park in China, since its
inauguration in 1994 as a result of the governmental collaboration
between China and Singapore. The history of the SIP is the history of
China's new economy; as China has moved up the supply chain, Suzhou
Industrial Park has now become an industrial park focusing more on
high-tech innovation/entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability
with an ecological perspective. This book will provide a fascinating
window into China's reform and opening for China scholars, economists,
and urban geographers.
