Since the late 1970s, China has experienced an unprecedented pace
of urbanization. In 1978, only 17.8% of the population resided in
urban areas, but by 2013 the level of urbanization had reached
53.8%. During the same period, China also enjoyed spectacular
economic growth. China had become the second largest economy in the
world by 2012, just behind the United States. Despite China's
highly acclaimed achievements in urbanization and its economic
miracle, urban China confronts a set of significant challenges.
This book provides theoretically informed and empirically rich
analyses of some of the key challenges facing China's urbanization.
The first part deals with new patterns of urbanization, focusing on
comprehensive measures and environmental dimensions of
urbanization. The second part of the book focuses on several
aspects related to migrants in cities: migrant entrepreneurship,
return migration, and local people's attitudes toward migrants. The
final section examines two key issues important for migrants, urban
local residents, and policy-makers that have become quite
contentious in China today: housing and urban health care. This
collection presents original, cutting-edge research on some of the
most pressing challenges confronting contemporary urban China,
conducted by researchers from multiple social science disciplines.
It will appeal to scholars and advanced students of urban studies
and China studies, as well as those in sociology, anthropology,
geography, and political science.
