Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This research is an effort of understanding the dynamics and relations that generate the global phenomenon of intense urbanization and ever-growing agglomerations.
The passage from Metropolitan Regions to Megalopolises has become a recent trend in countries such as Cina and India.
Behind the formation of multi-centre urban regions, we usually discover financial motives and strong will to compete with other "poles" of the global geopolitical grid, in the race for the "World Dominance".
The borders between regions -or countries- appear superseded: every type of collaboration between cities is christened as "fundanental" in order to survive.
The case of Hong Kong and Shenzhen is exemplary: two very strong financial centers, with their own relative indipendence and history, partecipate in what we could call the "Hong Kong-Shenzhen Megalopolis", promoted and enhanced by the Beijing Goverment.
The "real deal" of the New Megalopolis lies in the area that separates the two cities. Until now, it remained a "grey zone", a land of "no tresspassing" that interrupts the constant flows (of people and vehicles) that form the basic principles of a healthy Urban Region.
Lok Ha Chau Loop is a piece of land situated in the middle of this "grey zone". Its status is still unclear: to whom it belongs to? Hong Kong? Shenzhen? It's definitely in China, but has attracted all the attention from the two communities needed to elevate its status to "a valuable piece of land" that inaugurated the introduction of "common policies" of future development, collaboration and interaction between Hong Kong, Shenzhen -and ultimately the Central Government.
The Loop development is crucial, so much so that it can influence the progress of creation of a Megalopolis, whose economie strength and global perspectives may alter the equilibrium in the global game of power and influence among cities and regions.
