For the first time in China’s long history, there were more citizens living in cities than in rural areas. Asia as a whole has not yet reached the 50 percent mark but is expected to do so by 2020, and Africa by 2035. According to UN estimates, the total number of urban dwellers worldwide is due to increase by 75 percent be- tween now and 2050, when 68 percent of the world population will be city dwellers. Most of this urban growth will occur in Asia and Africa. China’s urbanisation process is of particular importance for two main reasons: speed and scale. It took 6 decades for China’s urbanisation to expand from 10 to 50 percent. This same transition took 150 years to occur in Europe and 210 years in Latin America and Caribbean. China’s rapid urbanisation is characterized by massive internal migration. In 2011, the migrating population reached 260 million. During the next two decades, nearly 310 million more people are expected to migrate from rural to urban areas. Such speed and scale in migration is unprecedented in human history. The majority of China’s major objectives and endeavours will thus be won or lost in its cities. The battle against climate change, the fight against inequalities, and the response to a rapidly ageing population – to mention a few - will depend on measures taken within the context of China’s burgeoning cities. As China urbanises, both challenges and opportunities will arise. Pressures on multiple fronts will increase; the use of natural and energy resources, employment competition, transportation, housing, access to basic social and other public services will all expand. The way China addresses these challenges will shape not only the coun- try’s urban landscape, but also that of the entire nation. Because big parts of China’s future cities have yet to be built, huge urban and national challenges, along with huge costs, can be avoided if the right care and the right decisions are taken now. With the urban population growing at such rapid pace, China needs to develop smart city planning and a strong network of clean energy, public mass transportation, implement strict standards of energy efficiency for build- ings, and promote voluntary green actions by citizens and businesses. Given the long life span of city infrastruc- tures and buildings, impacts of China’s decisions now will be felt for next several decades. Urbanisation also pro- vides an opening to increase equal access by all to opportunities and social services and to address some of the current inequalities that are emerging as the country transitions to an economy where market mechanisms play a greater role. Cities are centres of economic and cultural development, and increasingly, culture and creativity are being recognized as essential for vibrant, liveable cities. The urgency and significance of the urbanisation process in China prompted UNDP to focus its National Human Development Report on Sustainable and Liveable Cities: Toward Ecological Civilization. The report focuses on two main questions: how can we make China’s cities more liveable, and how can we ensure that citizens better enjoy the potentials associated with urban growth? To answer these questions, the report explores the current urban transformation in China from the perspective of human development. It looks at international practices and makes recommendations and projections into the future, based on the key areas of China’s urban transfor- mation that will directly affect people. i We are aware that there have been numerous insightful studies on urbanisation in China in recent years focus- ing on subjects such as low carbon cities, urban planning, and so on. The current report does not attempt to replicate them. Rather, it explores a range of topics - health, employment, housing, social services, culture, as well as cross-sectoral issues like inequality, rural-urban linkages, the natural environment, through a sustainable human development lens. China’s political commitment to a successful urban transformation is unambiguous. The country’s leadership has placed urbanisation on top of its political agenda. The government of China is fully aware of the need to turn its attention to making sure that its cities are more liveable, more humane, and sustainable for its people. Premier Li Keqiang stated in March 2013 that the new model of urbanisation should be human-centred, and should ensure the prosperity of the people, and the quality of urbanisation. The country’s leadership adopted the policy of Ecological Civilization and is aiming to green its development trajectory as well as to nurture the countries evolving social and cultural creativity. President Xi Jinping stated in April 2013 that China will focus more on the quality and efficiency of economic development, to build a “Beauti- ful China”, and will strengthen the ecological civilization construction with more efforts toward green develop- ment, circular development and low-carbon development and to balance industrial development and green, sustainable development. Since urbanisation stands at the intersection diverse economic, social, political, cultural and environmental poli- cy streams, guiding the urbanisation process requires good governance - good policies, good division of labour and coordination - horizontally across sectors and vertically across levels of government. It also requires good cooperation between government, private sector, social organisations and citizens. This Report is a collaboration between the UNDP China and Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. It was compiled by a distinguished team of Chinese and international experts. I would like to extend my sincere thanks and warmest congratulations to all the authors and particularly Professor Pan Jiahua’s team for their outstanding work. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation and gratitude to the Royal Norwegian Embassy, the Peace and Development Foundation, Leighton Asia, Tianyan Green Energy Corporation, Stora Enso and Veolia Group for their generous donations that have made this report possible, and

ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.

  • Deepening Reform’: the Organization and the Emerging Strategy
    ‘Deepening Reform’: The Organization and the Emerging Strategy Barry Naughton The Chinese leadership has set up an elaborate top-level apparatus to advance the reforms announced at last year’s Third Plenum. This apparatus extends down to local governments, and strongly incentivizes local governments to push forward with local reforms as well. However, these reforms are still not well defined, and specific guidance from the top level has lagged behind the creation of “reform leading groups.” The resulting pattern is one of broad movement but relatively slow delivery of actual reform measures. As proposals percolate up from below and “top- level designs” are further fleshed out, we can anticipate an additional protracted stage of bargaining, conflict, and slow consensus-building. Important reforms will emerge over the next few years, but there are also risks that irreconcilable conflicts may emerge or that botched reforms may incite a backlash. Xi Jinping has continued to push an extraordinarily broad and complex political agenda, characterized by deeply contradictory elements. On the one hand, Xi is strengthening direct Communist Party power and emphasizing top-down leadership, beginning with his own. He is tightening political repression and ideological control, and emphasizing nationalism. At the same time, Xi is driving economic reform forward and continuing a powerful and popular campaign against corruption. There is little doubt that the economic reform component of this policy offensive is significant and substantial. In this piece, I will demonstrate the gathering momentum of the reform process. With so many initiatives moving forward at once, it is difficult to discern the logic or coherence of the whole project.

  • China's Urbanization, Social Restructure and Public
    Graduate Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies 9:1 (2014) 55-77 Articles China’s Urbanization, Social Restructure and Public Administration Reforms: An Overview Xiaoyuan Wan University of Sheffield [email protected] Abstract This paper provides a review of the broad process of China’s urbanization and the urban public administration reform since the 1978 reforms, with a focus on the changing public policies in the realms of employment, housing, social insurance and the devolution of government authority. It suggests that the main government rationale of the public administration system reforms was to hand over a part of public services which used to be delivered by the central government and state-owned enterprises (SOEs), to local governments and to devolve a part of responsibility to the private sector, the social sector and individuals. According to these reforms, most of the social services, which could only be enjoyed by the employees of the SOEs were handed over to grassroots governments and aimed to cover more urban population. But at the same time, individuals had to take on more responsibilities of their careers choice and fund part of their own social welfare. This paper concludes by suggesting that with proliferating literature on China’s social and economic transition, further study should be carried out to explore the implementation of the reformed urban public policies by local governments and special concern should be given to the participation of non-government actors in China’s public administration. Introduction SINCE THE LATE 1970S, a series of economic reforms have been driving China to step away from a rigid socialism to a more open and diverse society, in which the urban economy developed at a tremendous speed and played an increasingly important role in the national economy.

It aims to identify the design principles which have been followed in practice, those design elements which have been considered by designers and planners as part of development control, and the extent to which urban design outcomes have been adopted in specific legal plans. It examines 14 urban design cases from Nanjing which were produced in conjunction with the relevant legal plans between 2009 and 2013. The study suggests that in China, urban design has been facing a number of challenges, including limited coverage of design elements, inconsistencies in the design principles followed, an incompatibility between design outcomes and legal plans, and an underestimation of the role of urban design in the delivery process of development control.
