1) The document summarizes Sisi Liang's presentation on physical planning strategies of national high-technology industrial development zones in China. 2) It identifies four types of development zones based on their location, mission, land use, and degree of integration. Case studies from each type are used to examine different planning strategies. 3) The presentation compares US and China approaches and assesses development zone planning strategies based on their impact and outcomes. It suggests tailoring strategies to local contexts and addressing issues like transit and environment.
