Urban Innovations: Town-based Urbanization Strategy Study in the PRC
Asian Development Bank | October 2008
Abstract
Promoting town development has long been central to the urbanization strategy of the People’s Republic of China and is underscored by the Government’s continuous search for specific policy mechanisms that will enable economic growth and attract more rural migrants to towns. The Town-based Urbanization Strategy Study was carried out to identify the policy tools, implementation mechanisms, and priority investments to promote the development of towns.
