This book sheds light on the mega-city region development in China
as a new form of urbanization which plays a crucial role in the
economic development of the country. It examines the challenges
faced by the mega-city regions and opens up avenues for debates and
further research. Economic reform of 1978 has led to an
unprecedented growth in the population and economic development of
China. A large portion of this increased urban population and the
corresponding economic growth has been concentrated in the
mega-city regions, such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH), Yangtze
River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD). These three
mega-city regions have less land but more people and thus higher
economy, resulting in various issues and challenges faced by these
regions. These challenges pertain to the socio-economic
development, transport, environment, governance and development
strategy, which this book explores through case studies of
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei
and Wuhan. This book also explains and analyses the economy,
migration processes, transport development, environmental
conditions and governance of the mega-city regions of China. With
an overview of China's rapid urbanisation and the consequent
economic growth, this book provides an essential understanding of
related issues in order to establish appropriate strategies and
policies to sustain the process of mega-city region development.
