The Great Urbanization of China

摘要

The Great Urbanization of China collects 13 essays that are closely related to the extensive wave of urbanisation in China to decipher this great transformation by analysing urban expansion and spatial growth patterns, city-size distribution, urban development strategies and institution evolution, urban planning, land use reform, land market and migration. Not only does this book uncover facts about the changes that have taken place in Chinese cities over the past 30 years, it also seeks to investigate their causes. Through quantitative and qualitative analyses the essays explore the factors and forces that define and affect the urbanisation process.
