Regional Development Is a Major Socio-economic Issue in the Contemporary World

Regional development is a significant socio-economic issue in the contemporary world. After the end of World War II, most countries and regions experienced significant socio-economic development. However, they also faced common challenges related to population, resources, and the environment. Regional development issues reflect these three challenges in specific countries and regions, and they are universal, urgent, and important. The spatial structure of socio-economic activities has evolved from one-dimensional to three-dimensional, and it is influenced by three factors: economic, social, and environmental.
