Lecture | High-Speed Urbanization and the 'Over-sized Cities' in Contemporary China

Friday, May 4, 2018, 4:00 pm

Free

The urbanization rate in China has passed 50% since 2011 and will reach 60% by the year 2020. However, the image of “rural China” stays as a stereotype for a long time.

This talk is aimed to help understand China in urban condition. It will start from the process of high-speed urbanization in the first decade of the 21st century. Then it will demonstrate the high- density situation in three megacities: Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Finally, it will emphasize the current u-turn of urban policy from social inclusion to social exclusion in the so-called “over-sized” cities and point out the latest inequality issues in the case of Shanghai.

Speaker Zhe Sun is with Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
