Book Synopsis City-industry Growth in China by : Yi Lu
Download or read book City-industry Growth in China written by Yi Lu and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the relevance of the two leading theories for city-industry growth (i.e., specialization and diversity theories) in accounting for the fast yet uneven growth of industries in China's cities. Using the data set of 29 two-digit manufacturing industries in 231 China's cities for the period 1998-2005, we find that specialization promotes city-industry growth, whereas diversity has no effect at all. In addition, we find that specialization is important for the growth of mature industries in China, but diversity is crucial for the development of China's relatively fewer high-tech industries. Our study contributes to the literature by examining the relevance of the specialization and diversity theories for a large and fast-growing developing economy.

Abstract
Due to the high population density in urban areas worldwide, China - with the world largest population - is facing the increased pressure with respect to resource management as well. In order to sustain its economic growth, China has begun seeking new opportunities and the smart city concept - boasting a potential market value worth trillions of RMB - seems to be an optimal solution to obtain more investment funds from international and Chinese ICT companies. This report profiles the definition of a smart city and provides insight into the government policies, current industry development strategies and new opportunities expected to create for cities undertaking the smart city initiative in China.
Book Synopsis Producer Services in China by : Anthony G.O. Yeh
Download or read book Producer Services in China written by Anthony G.O. Yeh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past three decades, China has experienced an unprecedented pace of economic and urban development. It’s economy is now transforming from one based on manufacturing industries towards the producer services, with the importance of these services in the national and regional economy being recognized by economists and policy makers alike. With growing demand and policy support, producer services are expected to expand rapidly, leading to a new wave of economic and urban development in China. This groundbreaking volume is one of the first to address questions related to the development of these services in China. The contributions explore a wide range of associated topics including the characteristics of the growth of producer services and how this is related to China’s economic and urban transition, the distribution of these services amongst Chinese cities, as well as drawing comparison between producer service development in China and Western counterparts. This volume also discusses the dynamics of the development of these services in China and how the political-economic embeddedness of China has shaped the development of producer services. Finally, the consequences of this growth and how the economy and urban space have change in response is explored, as well as the challenges Chinese cities face in moving towards a service economy, and how this can inform future public policies. This volume addresses the pressing need to understand the economic and urban changes in post-industrial China to allow appropriate strategies and policies to formulated to facilitate future development in China. The text is rich with statistical data and diagrams, providing original contributions and a cutting edge overview. This timely publication will be of interest to upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers interested in China, Urban Studies and Economic Development.
Book Synopsis Mega-City Region Development in China by : Anthony G.O. Yeh
Download or read book Mega-City Region Development in China written by Anthony G.O. Yeh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on the mega-city region development in China as a new form of urbanization which plays a crucial role in the economic development of the country. It examines the challenges faced by the mega-city regions and opens up avenues for debates and further research. Economic reform of 1978 has led to an unprecedented growth in the population and economic development of China. A large portion of this increased urban population and the corresponding economic growth has been concentrated in the mega-city regions, such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH), Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD). These three mega-city regions have less land but more people and thus higher economy, resulting in various issues and challenges faced by these regions. These challenges pertain to the socio-economic development, transport, environment, governance and development strategy, which this book explores through case studies of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Wuhan. This book also explains and analyses the economy, migration processes, transport development, environmental conditions and governance of the mega-city regions of China. With an overview of China’s rapid urbanisation and the consequent economic growth, this book provides an essential understanding of related issues in order to establish appropriate strategies and policies to sustain the process of mega-city region development.

Book Synopsis Transport Infrastructure, City Productivity Growth and Sectoral Reallocation: Evidence from China by : Yang Yang
Download or read book Transport Infrastructure, City Productivity Growth and Sectoral Reallocation: Evidence from China written by Yang Yang and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of highway expansion on aggregate productivity growth and sectoral reallocation between cities in China. To do so, I construct a unique dataset of bilateral transportation costs between Chinese cities, digitized highway network maps, and firm-level census. I first derive and estimate a market access measure that summarizes all direct and indirect impact of trade costs on city productivity. I then construct an instrumental variable to examine the causal impact of highways on economic outcomes and the underlying channels. The results suggest that highways promoted aggregate productivity growth by facilitating firm entry, exit and reallocation. I also find evidence that the national highway system led to a sectoral reallocation between cities in China.
Book Synopsis Chinese Urban Transformation by : Chen Yuanzhi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now an established global force, China has experienced a sustained period of staggering economic growth since policy reform in the 1970s. Chinese urbanisation is the most significant example of economic, environmental and social change both within China and globally. In recent years, central government has made a concerted effort to encourage city governments to realign their priorities and achieve a balance between economic efficiency, social justice and environmental protection. Chinese Urban Transformation: A Tale of Six Cities is a fascinating exploration of the dramatic development Chinese cities have undergone. Tracing this transformation through a comprehensive analysis of social and economic change in six cities, it unravels the complex relationship between policy, outlook and role that urban development plays in China’s view of itself, including the tensions resulting from rapid social and economic change.
Book Synopsis Urban Development in Post-Reform China by : Fulong Wu
Download or read book Urban Development in Post-Reform China written by Fulong Wu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radically reoriented under market reform, Chinese cities present both the landscapes of the First and Third World, and are increasingly playing a critical role in the country’s economic development. Yet, radical marketization co-exists with the ever-presence of state control. Exploring the interaction of China’s market development, state regulation and the resulting transformation and creation of new urban spaces, this innovative, key book provides the first integrated treatment of China’s urban development in the dynamic market transition. Focusing on land and housing development, the authors, all renowned authorities in this field, show how the market has been ‘created’ under post-reform urban conditions, and examine ‘the state in action’, highlighting how changing urban governance towards local entrepreneurial state facilitates market formation. A significant, original contribution, they highlight the key actors and their institutional contexts. China has been very successful in using urban land development as an economic growth engine, and here the authors investigate complex interactions between the market and state in creating this new urbanism. Taking a unique perspective, they marshal original ideas and empirical work based on field studies and collaborative work with colleagues in China.

Book Synopsis Cities of Dragons and Elephants by : Guanghua Wan
Download or read book Cities of Dragons and Elephants written by Guanghua Wan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization is one of the most important phenomena in economic development. In the past three decades, Asian urban populations expanded by almost one billion, a figure expected to double in the next three decades. Clearly, both the scale and pace of urbanization in Asia is unprecedented in human history and will dominate the global urbanization landscape. Asia's urbanization, in turn, is dominated by what is happening in China and India, the two most populous, fastest growing economies in the world. Cities of Dragons and Elephants: Urbanization and Urban Development in China and India aims at addressing the two most fundamental issues of urbanization: why and where to urbanize. Contributed by a team of top experts from both countries, it uses original research to explore both the speed and scale of urbanization and urban systems or spatial distribution of urbanities in different-sized citites. It examines various drivers of urbanization alongside the benefits and costs and the role of markets, governments, and NGOs. Cities of Dragons and Elephants presents evidence-based policy suggestions regarding the labor market, the land and housing market, FDI and the capital market, education, environment, poverty, and inequality. It uses the similarities betwen India and China to draw conclusions and implications of enormous relevance to many governments and institutions in Asia and beyond.

Book Synopsis The urbanization process in China and its impacts on the environment by : Thomas Schneider
Download or read book The urbanization process in China and its impacts on the environment written by Thomas Schneider and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the urbanization process in China during the past decades and gives a prospect for the near future. It is shown, that in a remarkably short period, China increased its urban population to more than 50 percent of the entire population. This rapid urbanization was mainly driven by rural-urban migration in the course of the industrialization process and by the in situ urbanization, as a mainly government related factor. The paper afterwards identifies energy and resources, pollution and land consumption as the major areas where by urbanization caused challenges need to be tackled.

Book Synopsis Building Engines for Growth and Competitiveness in China by : Douglas Zhihua Zeng
Download or read book Building Engines for Growth and Competitiveness in China written by Douglas Zhihua Zeng and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals fascinating insights into the two remarkable engines fueling China's economic success: special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial clusters. Douglas Zeng provides an excellent overview of China's SEZs and clusters, their background, success factors, challenges, and possible solutions. The five well-written case studies delve into the rich detail of the evolution and success of SEZs and clusters in key growth regions of China. The views on the distinctions and convergence of SEZs and clusters are fresh and in-depth. As China celebrates the 30th anniversary of its SEZ policy, the publication of this book could not have been more timely. With growing interest in China's experience, this book is a must-read for policy makers, development practitioners, business leaders, and scholars worldwide who are eager to learn from China's success.---Eric Roll Hansen President of Economic Transformations Group, Inc. China's economic rise continues to amaze. This book provides important new insights into two dimensions that, when combined, are emblematic of the nature of China's economic transformation. The creation of special economic zones (SEZs) has been a core element of the government's strategy to drive growth through a process of selective reforms in specific regions. The emergence of clusters has been a market-driven response to the new opportunities opening up in China. The case studies in this book suggest that Chinese SEZs and clusters have often been successful precisely because pragmatic policies allow them to become mutually reinforcing. This book will help researchers and policy makers better understand China's growth, past and current, as well as the lessons the country holds for the effective use of SEZs and clusters in organizing economic policies.---Christian Ketels Principal Associate of the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School and Director of the Competitiveness Institute (TCI)
