Planning for Growth - Urban and Regional Planning in China

Planning for Growth: Urban and Regional Planning in China provides an overview of the changes in China's planning system, policy, and practices since the mid-20th century using concrete examples and informative details in language that is accessible enough for the undergraduate but thoroughly grounded in a wealth of research and academic experience to support academics.
