Amazon.com description: Product Description: The accelerating pace of world urbanization has been one of the most significant developments of the twentieth century. This development has had great effects on almost all aspects of our lives. It is vital for economic growth, diversification and development. It transforms people's values, attitudes, behavior, and life styles in general.

While most developed countries were urbanized in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, urbanization in developing countries is mainly a late-twentieth century and early-twenty-first century process. Therefore studies on urbanization patterns in developing countries can provide an important base of information and analysis for solving their urban problems.

New urbanization patterns first emerged in some coastal provinces pioneering in China's reform and open-door processes, and are still in the process of further development and diffusion to other provinces in China. This book explores the causes, effects and implications of these new urbanization patterns through case studies in areas where these patterns are most developed. The Fujian Province used as the study is one of the regions with the fastest economic growth in China. It is also one of the trial bases of China's reform and open door policies and has been at the forefront of social and economic development, including urbanization.
