By using field survey and World Bank investment project evaluation
method, this book investigates the experience of slum rebuilding in
Liaoning province, China. It figures out that the experience of
Liaoning province is relatively successful and can be of great
significance for developing countries and regions. The issue of
slums is a huge challenge in the process of global urbanization.
The population living in slums is 0.8 billion worldwide and the
number is still growing. International organizations (e.g., the
World Bank) and relevant countries have been working on the
rebuilding of slums but only a few succeeded. In recent years,
since some scholars believe that government should play dominant
role in slums rebuilding, Liaoning province has developed a
systematical model in slums rebuilding from 2005. This model
emphasizes the guidance of government, market functions and society
involvement. With the application of the new model, Liaoning
province has improved 2.11 million people’s living conditions
from 2005 to 2010. By introducing the conditions, history,
rebuilding process and rebuilding methods of Liaoning slums, this
book provides new information and data for slum rebuilding decision
makers and researchers.
