Abstract
This book chapter studies Dalian port facilities industrial development and urban growth. Dalian is an old port and industrial center in North China first developed under Russian and Japanese influences. Its harbors can be classified into 3 types according to their functions. The first type is the military harbor at Lushun; the second comprises the fishing harbors on the northern shores; and the third type is the commercial harbor on the western shore of Dalian Bay. After the introduction of the open policy in 1978 Dalians government started to expand its port facilities but it was not enough to spark changes both in Dalians industry and urban development. Because of the backwardness in production and technology the city government has actively supported industrial modernization through technical education and imported technology. The chapter also highlights the function of urban districts especially the Dalian ETDZ. Finally the problems faced by the city in mounting its development and modernization programs including transport bottlenecks and shortage of electricity are mentioned.
