Chinas Spatial Economic Development

The spatial patterns of Chinas rapid economic transformation fundamentally challenge conventional geographies of urban and regional development. This book provides a theoretically informed case study of the local character of regional change in Chinas lower Yangzi delta, as well as a new conceptual framework for understanding Chinas unique form of economic modernization.

The development of market socialism in China has contributed to a spatial economic transformation characterized by an apparent capacity to rapidly industrialize without transferring large numbers of people into big cities. The author offers an explanation of the emergence of these relatively productive non-urban regions, an area where conventional theories of development, industrialization and urbanization have proved inadequate. Chinas distinctive experience is also held up as a unique source of reflection on the critical dimensions of regional change in an increasingly volatile global economic environment.

Chinas Spatial Economic Development contributes both a new theoretical framework and a wealth of original research material to the study of rural transformation and urban transition in China. It will, therefore, be of vital interest to Asian studies scholars, geographers and economists working on the transitional economies.

Andrew M. Marton is Reader in Chinese Geography in the Institute of Contemporary Chinese Studies at the University of Nottingham. He has contributed articles to numerous journals, including Asian Geographer and Pacific Affairs, and to the recent edited volumes RuralUrban Transition and Development in China, and Hong Kong in China.
