This book explores how to tackle the challenges of urbanization
through international lessons in sustainable development and smart
growth strategies. As readers will discover, smart growth offers an
approach to urbanization with the aim to: improve the efficiency of
land use, protect the natural and cultural environment, promote
economic prosperity and improve the quality of life. Authors
address various challenges experienced in China, including
deepening regional imbalances, an aging population, wholesale
environmental degradation and traffic congestion. China's official
long-term urbanization plan sets many challenges for urban
planners, these range from implementation of the plan and
financing, to protection of vulnerable groups and social justice.
This book brings readers up to date on the use of big data and
modern technologies such as geographic information system
technology (GIS). The work encompasses themes of environmental
planning, community development, cultural heritage preservation,
land use and transportation, urban studies, climate change, housing
and community development, infrastructure planning, disaster
planning and social equity. Authors present the very latest
theories and practices of smart growth and offer many valuable
insights to urban planners and scholars, as well as policy makers.
