  • China's Urban Space

    Terry Mcgee, George C S Lin et al.BOOKChina's Urban Space2007

    China’s urban growth is unparalleled in the history of global urbanization, and will undoubtedly create huge challenges to China as it modernizes its society.

  • Processes of Mega-Urban Development in China

    Andrew Marton, A M Marton et al.ARTICLEAsian Geographer1996References: 5

    China's distinctive experience of socialist transition in a partially marketizing economy serves as a unique rubric for examining the critical processes and mechanisms of rural-urban transformation in Asia. Perhaps the most important reason for paying attention to the socialist transition in China, however, is the truly intriguing and unique patterns and processes of growth and development which have emerged during the reform period since 1978. C…
