Transforming Chinese Cities

The urbanisation of China over the last three decades has been a hugely significant development, both for ChinaΓÇÖs reform process and for the world more generally. This book presents recent research findings on ChinaΓÇÖs 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.
