Transforming Chinese Cities Summary

Transforming Chinese Cities by Mark Wang (University of Melbourne, Australia)

The urbanisation of China over the last three decades has been a hugely significant development, both for China's reform process and for the world more generally. This book presents recent research findings on China's continuing urban transformation. Subjects covered include the decline of the rural-urban divide, the spatial restructuring of Chinese urban centres and urban infrastructure, migrant workers, new housing and new communities, and green responses to urban environmental problems. The book is particularly valuable in that it includes much new work by scholars based inside China.
