- Summary:
- Over the next 10-15 years, Chinas urbanization rate is expected to rise to well over 50%, adding an additional 200 million mainly rural migrants to the current urban population of 560 million. How China copes with such a large migration flow will strongly influence rural-urban inequality, the pace at which urban centers expand their economic performance, and the urban environment. This volume identifies the key developments to watch and discusses the policies which would affect the course as well as the fruitfulness of change.
