Recommendation

This comprehensive review from the World Bank and the Development Research Center of the State Council, the People’s Republic of China, provides important insights into China’s policies and challenges as it continues its urban transition. China is evolving from a rural, export-driven economy to a more urbanized and service-oriented environment. Despite this transformation, outdated, uncoordinated and ineffective laws still govern the nation. The new urban landscape requires that the central government increases its regional coordination to allow localities more independence. getAbstract recommends this incisive report to executives doing business with China, city planners and anyone interested in urban development in a vast, roiling laboratory.

Take-Aways

  • Since the mid-1980s, 260 million Chinese have moved from rural areas to cities.
  • National and local leaders must use resources more efficiently in the service sector, which will supplant manufacturing as China’s main source of growth.
  • Internal migration barriers helped create the gap between rural and urban wages.
