Abstract
Improving resilience has become the main focus of many regions to pursue sustainable development and tackle multi-hazards. This chapter provides a theoretical basis for policy makers in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area to develop and implement synergised policies to improve cross-border regional resilience due to the heterogeneity of political systems. The policy instruments pertinent to regional resilience are identified before being qualitatively appraised and compared according to the enhanced framework for adaptation and resilience policy analysis (FARP) developed by the authors. The preliminary findings reveal that cooperation between the three places for enhancing regional resilience is still at an infancy stage; and a resilient Greater Bay Area can only be realized through concerted resilience policies, connected and integrated infrastructures, open and inclusive cross-border communities, and close inter-governmental cooperation.
