China turned majority urban only in the recent decade, a dramatic
leap given that less than 20 percent of its population lived in
cities before 1980. This book situates China’s urbanization in
the interconnected forces of historical legacies, contemporary
state interventions, and human and ecological conditions. It
captures the complexity of the phenomenon of urbanization in its
historical and regional variations, and explores its impact on the
country’s socioeconomic welfare, environment and resources, urban
form and lifestyle, and population and health. It is also a book
about China, in which the contributors provide new perspectives to
understand the transitions underway and the gravity of the
progress, particularly in the context of demographic shifts and
climate change. The chapters in China Urbanizing, written by
American and Chinese scholars, achieve three interconnected aims.
The first is to explore how the process of urbanization has shaped
and been influenced by the social, economic, and physical
interactions that take place in and beyond cities, and the state
interventions intended to regulate such interactions. The second is
to examine the shifts and evolutions emerging in urban China, such
as the economic slowdown, population aging and low fertility rates,
and how cities interact with the environment and planet given
China’s rising role in the global discourse on climate change.
The third is to explore new sources of information for conducting
research on urban China, such as satellite and street-level imagery
data and online listings, to account for the complexity and
heterogeneity that characterize contemporary Chinese urbanization.
