They are arguably of scholarly interest already in the sense that their bonding challenges rather profoundly the divisive impact of the Norwegian-Russian border. It is also notable that the initiative did not emerge with the cities themselves; it was fi rst and foremost coined by the Norwegian and Russian foreign ministers testifying not only to changes in the nature of the two states themselves and their approach to borders and bordering but also to a new way of conducting foreign policy with Kirkenes and Nickel being encouraged to join in through their twinning. It appears more generally that cities have acquired considerable liberty in choosing their own mode of constitution and probing the case of Kirkenes and Nickel thus off ers an opportunity to explore how that liberty is being utilized and with what consequences.","PeriodicalId":270546,"journal":{"name":"Twin Cities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125038555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 1979, Shenzhen has grown spectacularly from scattered small towns, villages and farmland to a megacity. Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Shenzhen are both megacities, competing for the same status, national functions and investments. They are deeply inter-related by intensive cross-border traffic, investments and joint-development projects. Hong Kong was crucial to Shenzhen's early development in multiple ways. Since the early 2000s, Shenzhen's economy and regional context have transformed once more – from 'workshop of the world' to a twenty-first-century metropolitan economy mainly based on high-tech production, innovation and advanced producer services. Hong Kong–Shenzhen migration is quite complex: many migrants travel back and forth, some keep homes in both places and many cross the border for work, study or family visits. Several projects have started to encourage or facilitate collaboration, though some may not proceed beyond good intentions.","PeriodicalId":270546,"journal":{"name":"Twin Cities","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114209204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
