A Study of China's Urban-Rural Integration Development

China's urbanization has stunned the world in the past two decades- but as the authors of this book explain, the growth is only set to continue. The divide between urban and rural citizens in China implicates every aspect of Chinese life, from education to pollution to healthcare. In this book, one of China's most celebrated academic urbanists and a major urban planner collaborate in laying out and analyzing the problems of China's urban-rural divide, experiences of urbanization, and what the future holds. This book is a must read, not only for the accurate summaries of China's developmental experience it includes, but also for the insights it provides into the mentalities of the government officials and private developers who are creating realities on the ground in Chinese cities.

Historicizes China's urban process within the context of urban-rural inequities Offers a comprehensive analysis of the real issues China faces at present Provides a birds-eye view for Western scholars into the issues that preoccupy China's policy elite
