Many agree that rapid urbanization in China in the late 20th and
early 21st centuries is a mega process significantly reshaping
China and the global economy. China's urbanization also carries a
certain mystique, which has long fascinated generations of scholars
and journalists alike. As it has turned out, many of the asserted
Chinese feats are mostly fancied claims or gross misinterpretations
(of statistics, for example). There does exist, however, an
urbanization that displays rather uncommon "Chinese"
characteristics that remain to inadequately understood. Building on
his three decades of careful research, Professor Kam Wing Chan
expertly dissects the complexity of China's hukou system,
migration, urbanization and their interrelationships in this set of
journal articles published in the last ten years. These works range
from seminal papers on Chinese urban definitions and statistics;
and broad-perspective analysis of the hukou system of its first
semi-centennial; to examinations of migration trends and geography;
and critical evaluations of China's 2014 urbanization blueprint and
hukou reform plan. This convenient assemblage contains many of
Chan's recent important works. Together they also form a relatively
coherent set on this topic. They are essential readings to anyone
serious about gaining a true understanding of the prodigious
urbanization in contemporary China.
