Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Financing Urban Development in the Peoples Republic of China
Asian Development Bank | November 2010
Abstract
The role of government in urban planning has evolved with changes in urban development in the PRC. Following the economic reforms that have occurred in the PRC since 1976, the central government has progressively delegated responsibilities to local governments in areas such as planning, land use, public works, and social welfare services. Local governments now have increased scope in decision making, receiving greater autonomy over investment approval, entry and exit regulation, resource allocation, as well as authority over state-owned enterprises.
