经济走廊是一种日益重要且相对较新的区域发展模式。其中，大湄公河次区域（GMS）走廊无论从规模还是机制上来看，发展都已日渐成熟，具有很强的国际典范意义。但也应看到，GMS走廊的城市体系还存在诸多的不足，今后的发展还面临较大挑战。其未来的提升策略包括加强多式联运走廊建设、重点发展中等城市、加快推进绿色城市建设、鼓励私营部门参与GMS走廊开发、提升走廊地区农业和物流发展水平、大力发展旅游业及城市便利设施等六个方面。
Economic corridors are an increasingly important and relatively new model of regional development.Among them，the Greater Mekong Sub-region（GMS）Corridor has grown mature in terms of size and mechanism，and has a strong international exemplary significance.However，it should also be seen that the urban system of the GMS corridor still has many shortcomings，and the future development still faces great challenges.Its future upgrading strategies include strengthening Intermodal transport corridors，focusing on the development of medium-sized cities，accelerating the development of green cities，encouraging the private sector to participate in the development of GMS corridors，upgrading the level of agricultural and logistics development in corridor areas，and vigorously developing tourism and urban facilities.
