In this webinar featuring an RSA-sponsored new book The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as Epochal Regionalisation, author Xiangming Chen will discuss the book’s framework for understanding the BRI’s large-scale and cross-border regional corridors and sub-corridors that have strong connected impacts on globalization, urbanization and development. He will focus on the Djibouti-Ethiopia development corridor as a complex case illustrating the opportunities and challenges for urban and regional development from combining the local adaptation of China’s Port-Park-City (PPC) mode of development, special zone-based industrialization and trans-border freight logistics within and between Djibouti and Ethiopia.
