This book aims to explore the development model of Great Bay Area (GBA) of China as economic engine under the context of open policy. Based on comprehensive research, both theoretically and practically, on the leading free ports in the world and the regional development of well-known bay areas, it analyzes the challenges and opportunities of GBA synergetic free ports. A series of initiatives on the development of GBA synergetic free ports are proposed, including the synergy of space, industry, finance, technological innovation, institution, social governance, and personnel. Also, it ends with a system dynamic model to simulate the regional impact on GBA synergetic free ports, which indicates that economic development, trade, government finance, and population agglomeration would be improved significantly, in the GBA synergetic free ports scenario.

This book strives to comprehensively explain Web 3.0 and tokenization technologies from theory to practice, from concepts to cases, and from opportunities to challenges. Chapter 1 systematically introduces the definition and characteristics of Web 3.0, as well as its impact on traditional investment and financing models, helping readers quickly establish a basic understanding of Web 3.0. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 serve as the theoretical foundation, delving into the blockchain technology principles underpinning tokenization and the economic theories embedded within, thereby solidifying the necessary knowledge base for readers. On the practical side, Chapters 5 and 6, as typical applications, focus on dissecting the two most core models in tokenization—the various types of RWA and stablecoins. The RWA model innovatively proposes ways to digitize and tokenize RWAs, significantly expanding the application scenarios and boundaries of tokenization. Stablecoins, as a bridge connecting the digital and real worlds, play a crucial role in promoting the prosperity of the tokenization ecosystem. Through detailed case studies and thorough analysis, this book enables readers to clearly understand how tokenization operates and the pathways to its implementation. However, the development of tokenization is not without obstacles; it also faces numerous risks and challenges. Chapters 7 and 8 adopt a cautious approach to discuss potential issues in regulation and social impact, objectively analyzing the resistances and limitations it faces, and proposing strategies and development recommendations. Only in this way can the development of tokenization become healthier and more sustainable.

This book elaborates on the six pillars of a healthy and standardized real-estate brokerage industry: the generation, distribution and matching of information; the transaction system; circulation finance; mobile Internet; the supervision system; and professional brokers. With each of these pillars playing a role, they also mutually interact to constitute an integrated framework that regulates the brokerage industry.
