Since 1978, when China embarked on a new period of economic reforms
and introduced open door policies, it has experienced a great urban
transformation. The role of transport has proved indispensable in
this unprecedented rapid urbanisation and economic growth. As the
first research-focused book dedicated to this important topic, the
Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China offers new
insight into the various opportunities and challenges brought by
fast-paced motorisation and urban development, and explores them in
broad spatial-economic, environmental, social, and institutional
dimensions. This collection is an informative and comprehensive
reference for researchers and academics at all levels studying
transport, urban planning, and geography. It will also help
practitioners and consultants gain a deeper understanding of policy
development and best practices, and international and domestic
policy makers will find guidance in the implications and lessons
proposed for future transport research, policy, and practice.
