Description

This study reveals the characteristics of urbanisation in China, which has started as a comprehensive socio-economic plan since 2014. It examines the ongoing urbanisation process from the perspectives of history, the size of city, village urbanisation and costs and benefits of the settlement of rural migrants in cities. The study argues that urbanisation in China is characterised by not only 'spatial urbanisation', which has been commonly observed in developed countries, but also 'institutional urbanisation'. Thus, it is imperative for the Chinese government to overcome the institutional barriers to achieve the goal of ideal urbanisation.
