Chinas Urban Construction Land Development

Více o knize

Focusing on China's urban construction land (UCL) development, the book explores two distinct types: formal, top-down development and informal, bottom-up development. It highlights the significant scale of informal land development, often overlooked in research and policy. The author reveals the active role of the peasantry in transforming rural land for urban use, challenging the perception of them as mere victims. Through case studies in Beijing and Shenzhen, it advocates for a unified urban-rural land management system to enhance land efficiency and address the complexities of urbanization in developing countries.
