This book examines failure in the urbanisation of Northwest China
as a result of government industrial policies that have impacted on
the economic development of the region. By looking at the
under-researched provinces of Gansu, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia,
which make up a quarter of China's territory, Zheng and Deng
challenge the common story of China's miracle growth and reveal the
dark side of the country's pursuit of modernity. Severe weather
conditions, chronic drought, permanent lack of oxygen and
unforgiving terrain in the Northwest make farming, manufacture and
services difficult simply because people tend not to stay. Yet,
China's current political system forces growth to take place even
though basic conditions and prerequisites for market-based growth
are missing. This volume analyses 'ghost cities' and social tension
in the process of 'forced urbanisation' in which huge amount of
resources are wasted, the local environment is systematically
damaged and ordinary people's basic rights are brutally violated in
the name of higher GDP and greater government glory.
