GUO WANDA, vice president of the Shenzhen-based China Development Institute (CDI), said the city is perfectly placed to host the Universiade in 2011 because of its unique position, great infrastructure and rich experience in hosting international events.
Separated from Hong Kong only by a narrow river, Shenzhen will benefit from the reputable international city if it can win the bid, said Guo, who is currently researching on the further integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
“Shenzhen is not alone as a host. The economic integration, nongovernmental contact and government impetus have put the two cities in the process of becoming a living circle,” he said.
The close cooperation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen in high-tech, finance and logistics sectors, and exchange of professionals have helped create a new megapolis combining the best of both cities.
