Large regional differences and uneven regional development are fundamental challenges for China.Balanced regional development is an important issue in research on development geography.This study reviews the course of balanced regional development in China and summarizes its characteristics in each period.The results show that inter-regional development in China has undergone successive periods of balanced and unbalanced de-velopment.Each period has enhanced social development and contributed to a more bal-anced regional development.This paper discusses the scientific connotation of balanced regional development,and invokes sustainable development theory to argue that we should pay attention to the differences in resource endowments among regions,and solves the im-balance among the economy,humans,and nature to promote the spatial balance of regional development and green development for better coordination between economy and ecology.The balanced promotion of the well-being of people in each region is the ultimate goal of balanced regional development.We then use concepts from development geography to examine China's path of balanced regional development from the three perspectives of soci-ety,the economy,and ecology.Suggestions are also provided for the balanced development of China's regions and the improvement of public well-being.
