All you need are business/personal incentives. One extreme example of this is SEZs, Special Economic Zones. You set up a legal structure for region within your territory to be able to offer the sort of benefits one would normally have to seek out tax havens and legal loopholes to achieve. This motivates development and growth in these regions, which drives opportunity and expansion.

The Shenzhen SEZ is one extremely successful example. [1] It was established as an SEZ in 1980 when it had fewer than 30k workers. By 2000 it had a labor force over 3 million. The current population (which is predictable difficult to measure given a massive migrant population) may be as high as 14 million.
