Urbanization in China : The Path to Harmony and Prosperity

This book traces the history of urbanization in China and discusses major problems and challenges the country is facing as it undergoes a profound social transformation. The author argues that as China tries to build not just more but also better cities, i.e., cities that are not only economically competitive but also people- and environment-friendly, it should adopt urbanization strategies and policies that promote integrated development for both rural and urban areas, and coordination among otherwise disparate objectives ? such as industrialization, ecological modernization, informatization and cultural heritage preservation ? nationwide and at various scales.
