Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Eco-City Development: New and Sustainable Way Forward
Asian Development Bank | November 2010
Abstract
Urbanization in the PRC reflects the pace of development and progress in the country. However, the rapid rate and sheer scale of urbanization is associated with increasingly pressing problems. The proliferation of eco-city development comes at a time when the PRC is reaching peak urbanization rates. Moreover, lowcarbon cities generally come at relatively lower economic cost for large developing countries, such as the PRC and India, compared with developed countries. Hence, the potential for cities to help address climate change should not be overlooked.
