Toward greener cities
Behind the rising periphery
This study explores the paths of cities in the world city network (WCN) that are located outside the traditional core states of the capitalist world-economy. Using two decades of time-series data, it develops a framework for mapping WCN paths, examines the distribution of non-core cities across the paths, and proposes geographical explanations for their divergent paths. Results show that, although a few non-core cities have achieved notable globa…
Understanding China’s green transitions through urban spatial transformation
Green transitions have emerged as a salient ecological and political-economic practice in urban China over the past decade. Most studies on such transitions have focused on the role of technological innovations and market instruments in facilitating economic upgrades and green development. However, the spatial analytical perspective, which interprets green transitions through their manifestations in urban ecological spaces, remains underexplored.…
The diversity of older migrants and their intentions to return
This study sheds light on the importance of considering the diversity of older migrants when addressing the question of return in later life. Taking advantage of the China‐City General Household Survey (China‐CGHS) data set, which offers unique information on migration history, this study reveals that different types of older migrants hold different attitudes toward return. People who migrated in later life due to family reasons, namely family‐or…

The changing geography of interprovincial migration in China
This paper elucidates how the geography of interprovincial migration in China has evolved with the country’s structural changes over the past 35 years and explores how this geography has developed in the past decade. In synthesizing existing literature, we demonstrate that the coast-inland migration discrepancy emerged in the late 1980s when migration control was relaxed and a coastal development strategy was adopted, reinforced in the 1990s when…
Hukou type, hukou place and labour market vulnerability in Chinese megacities
This article presents an investigation into the different roles of hukou type and place in shaping labour market vulnerability within Chinese megacities, using the COVID-19 pandemic-induced income loss in Beijing as a case study. We find that while the hukou system played a role in shaping this loss, its impact was achieved mainly through hukou place, with hukou type having no significant effect. Compared to locals, non-local hukou holders in Bei…
People and Places in the 2020 Census
Did new geographies of population growth emerge in China? The answer, from recently released 2020 census main data, appears to be no. Between 2010 and 2020, population grew faster northwest of the Hu line than southeast of the line despite the former area’s harsher natural environment. In general, population still increased, and increased faster, in places that previously grew, and grew faster, despite China’s economic slowdown and restructuring.…
Are adaptation challenges relevant to the location choices of internal migrants? Evidence from China
This paper highlights the relevance of adaptation challenges to the location choices of internal migrants, thereby adding to the recognition that they are newcomers to the host society. To achieve this, it presents an examination of how cultural, institutional and social differences between origin and destination regions, which internal migrants need to adapt to, impact their location choices, using labour migration within China as a case study. …
Growing socio-spatial inequality in neo-liberal times? Comparing Beijing and London
Urban spillover or rural industrialisation
Changes in population movement make Covid-19 spread differently from Sars
Should internal migrants be held accountable for spreading Covid-19
The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has quickly swept through China, and mass internal migration during the Chinese Spring Festival is now widely blamed for this. This statement, we argue, is misleading. Internal migrants should not be held responsible for the initial spread of COVID-19, as those cities first affected are megacities that connect with the epicentre Wuhan more with regard to business and tourism than migration. The scale …

Glimpsing China's future urbanization from the geography of a floating population
The floating population is a major source of social inequality in China and a direct target in its new-type urbanization plan. Although this population spread very unevenly both within and between provinces, and the responsibility for their citizenization lies mostly with local authorities, their geographical distribution and representation in the total population below province level remain understudied. This paper fills the gap. The county-leve…
