This book provides a comprehensive exploration of rural revitalization through the lens of the Neo-Endogenous Development Theory, with a particular focus on the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). By integrating internal momentum with external resources, it proposes a Hybrid Dynamics Model that addresses the challenges of urban–rural integration, cultural sustainability, and social innovation. What sets this book apart is its innovative application of the “endogenous resonance” concept, which emphasizes the synergy of policy guidance, organizational capacity, cultural capital, and regional cooperation. Drawing on both theoretical frameworks and in-depth case studies, it bridges international development theories with China’s unique socio-political and spatial contexts. The scope spans historical evolution, theoretical refinement, and practical strategies for sustainable rural development. Readers will find detailed analyses of rural clusters, cultural capital mobilization, organizational optimization, and integrated spatial planning. Intended for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in rural development, urban planning, and social sustainability, the book combines academic rigor with practical relevance. Its content level is suitable for graduate students, researchers, and professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of rural revitalization pathways.
