		Although the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone encompasses only 0.4 percent of the land area and only 3.2 percent of the 2000 Census population of mainland China, it accounted for 8.7 percent of GDP, 32.8 percent of total trade, and 29.2 percent of utilised foreign capital in 2001.
		The Pearl river delta is notoriously polluted, with sewage and industrial waste facilities failing to keep pace with the growth in population and industry in the area.

		The PRD is one of the People's Republic of China's leading economic regions and a massive manufacturing center.
		Until around 1985, the PRD had been mainly dominated by farms and small rural villages, but after the economy was reformed and opened, a flood of investment turned it into the mainland's economic powerhouse.
		Private-owned enterprises have developed quickly in the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone and are playing an ever-growing role in the region?s economy, particularuly after year 2000 when the development environment for private-owned enterprises has been greatly relaxed.

		Instead, when the monsoonal rains came and filled the rivers with silt from the newly opened farmlands, the rivers overfilled their banks and filled the flood plains, with the silt enriching the lands tilled by the Tai.
		The Pearl River delta thus was not created by natural processes, and had not been simply waiting for Chinese to migrate from the north and reclaim it for agriculture.
		Rather, the creation of the Pearl River delta and its later emergence as the densely populated, agriculturally rich core of South China was a contingent, rather than naturally determined, historical outcome.

		A delta is the mouth of a river where it flows into an ocean, sea, desert or lake, building outwards (as a deltaic deposit) from sediment carried by the river and deposited as the water current is dissipated.
		Deltaic deposits of larger, heavily-laden rivers are characterised by the river channel dividing into multiple streams (distributaries), these divide and come together again to form a maze of active and inactive channels.
		Other rivers with notable deltas include the Ganges/Brahmaputra combination (this delta spans most of Bangladesh and West Bengal), the Niger, the Amazon, the Mississippi, the Sacramento-San Joaquin, the Rhine, the Rhône, the Danube, the Ebro, the Volga, the Lena, the Tigris-Euphrates, the Indus, the Krishna-Godavari, the Kaveri, the Ayeyarwady, and the Mekong.

	China's Pearl River Delta
		Although details for the urbanisation rate for the Pearl River Delta region are not available, the population density is about 600 per square kilometre, which is substantially higher than the national figure for China of 133 people per square kilometre.
		The boundaries of the Pearl River Delta as an economic zone differ from those associated with the geographic boundaries of the delta.
		The development of the Pearl River Delta economic zone, and therefore of the geographic area associated with it, was based almost entirely on the restructuring of the Chinese economy to encourage international trade and investment, and the accompanying restructuring of the Hong Kong economy away from labour-intensive manufacturing.

		Pearl River Delta, China Over the last two decades, China has been experiencing an urban revolution that is likely to continue through the first half of the twenty-first century.
		Given the agricultural and economic importance of the Red River and Pearl River deltas, the social and political dynamics of transition economies, and the potential for each region to be held up as success cases and duplicated throughout their respective countries, the two deltas were chosen as our study sites to evaluate humanenvironment interactions.
		Both deltas are particularly rich areas in which to monitor and measure land use dynamics, understand the factors that drive land use change, and evaluate the social and ecological impacts of these changes.

		Though the PRD accounted for more than 40 percent of actual FDI in 1990, its share of the national total declined to just over 25 percent by the end of the decade; in comparison, the Yangzi delta's share grew from 10 percent in 1990 to 25 percent in 2000 and is continuing to rise.
		Given that the PRD holds one of the largest concentrations of migrants in the country—almost 40 percent of the PRD's total population enumerated in the 2000 Census are migrants—the filling of this statistical gap was long overdue.

		Geomorphologically, it is a composite delta formed by sediments deposited at the mouth of Pearl River by the rivers of Xijiang, Beijiang, Dongjiang, and their tributaries, containing a total area of about 8,600 sqkm (Lo 1989).
		The ‘Smaller Delta’ was enlarged in 1987 with the addition of 11 cities or counties (Qingyuan, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Huaxian, Chonghua, Huiyang, Huidong, Boluo, Gaoyao, Sihui, and Guangning) in the mountainous region of Guangdong Province.
		Major issues in transportation and infrastructure development in the PRD region are: excess demand and shortage of supply in ground transportation systems (roads and rail) and telecommunications systems; excess supply and inefficient operation of water and air transport; small scale, uncoordinated, and duplicated infrastructure facilities at the level of municipalities or counties.
