Urban Transformation in China cover

This book provides a general description and evaluation of the process of urbanization in China and the urgent challenges facing the Chinese government. Urban Transformation in China examines the changing pattern of China's urban population and the determinants of these changes, including an analysis of the spatial structures of China's cities and industry and an assessment of urban productivity growth and the role of mega cities in national development. The book's coverage encompasses both academic and policy perspectives. With its sister volume Urbanization and Social Welfare in China it provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of the country’s urbanization process.

'There are interesting data and analysis and for the first time readers are exposed to China's urban transformation.' Built Environment '...essential reading for students of the development of Chinese society in its period of rapid industrialization and urbanization.' Asia-Pacific Business Review '...many developments anticipated in the papers of this book have become reality rather sooner than expected...Urban Transformation in China helps to understand the development of urbanization in China and its major consequences for the social and spatial structure of Mainland China today.'
