This book explores the causes, effects and implications of these new urbanization patterns through case studies in areas where the patterns are most developed."--BOOK JACKET.

Revealing spatially varying relationships between urban growth patterns and underlying determinants is important for better understanding local dimensions of urban development.

Based on original research by leading experts, this book offers an updated and nuanced analysis of the new logic of urban governance and its implications.

To evaluate urban land-use patterns, this study applied entropy to investigate the degree of urban (sprawl) expansion and mixed land-use among 61 major Chinese cities in 2011.

This innovative book provides the first integrated treatment of China’s market development, state regulation and the resulting transformation and creation of new urban spaces.

Currently the Chinese government has amongst its objectives the target to increase this to 60% by 2020, and also to improve the quality of China’s cities. This book examines a wide range of issues connected to China’s urbanization.

This volume identifies the key developments to watch and discusses the policies which would affect the course as well as the fruitfulness of change.
