This book provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent
development of Chinese cities. It discusses a broad range of
subjects of urban planning, including environmental planning,
transportation planning, historical preservation, economic
development, geographic information systems (GIS) and other
technological applications. China, the most populous country in the
world, has experienced unprecedented urbanization in a relatively
short period. During the past decades, urbanization in China has
centered on land development through industrialization and
investment, but it has largely ignored the prosperity and
well-being of the people. Livable cities are not just those with
magnificent buildings and infrastructure; they are great places
where people want to live. China's recently inaugurated leaders
have proposed a new model to actively and prudently enhance the
quality of urbanization through compact, intelligent, and
low-carbon development. It symbolizes the departure from
land-centered urban development to a form of people-oriented
urbanization, as China's Premier, Li Keqiang, has advocated. This
new model offers a platform for planning researchers and
practitioners to tackle urbanization challenges, such as social
equity, environment, energy, ecological and historic preservation,
affordable housing, and externalities of mega cities. Furthermore,
people-oriented urbanization calls for public participation and
stakeholder engagement in the planning process. This book brings
together planners, designers, scholars, scientists, and government
officials from China and all over the world to exchange ideas on
urban regeneration.
