To support balanced and sustained economic returns from transportation investment, the convergence of development strategies on a regional scale is crucial. Recognizing that regional economies are shaped by unique geostrategic conditions, effective transportation development must be planned in the context of regional urbanization dynamics. This paper examines the development patterns of the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong province, serving as a case study for exploring broad strategies that best promote balanced regional growth through transportation investment and development. Based on a methodical assessment of strengths and weaknesses in the region, the rural periphery was identified as an underutilized asset crucial to supporting balanced regional growth. Recommended best practice strategies emphasize the role of policy-making and transport infrastructure as allocative mechanisms in a regional economy.
