{"product_id":"urbanization-with-chinese-characteristics-kam-wing-chan-9780367264826","title":"Urbanization with Chinese Characteristics: The Hukou System and Migration","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany agree that rapid urbanization in China in the late 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and early 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries is a mega process significantly reshaping China and the global economy. China's urbanization also carries a certain mystique, which has long fascinated generations of scholars and journalists alike. As it has turned out, many of the asserted Chinese feats are mostly fancied claims or gross misinterpretations (of statistics, for example). There does exist, however, an urbanization that displays rather uncommon \"Chinese\" characteristics that remain to inadequately understood. Building on his three decades of careful research, Professor Kam Wing Chan expertly dissects the complexity of China's \u003ci\u003ehukou \u003c\/i\u003esystem, migration, urbanization and their interrelationships in this set of journal articles published in the last ten years. These works range from seminal papers on Chinese urban definitions and statistics; and broad-perspective analysis of the \u003ci\u003ehukou \u003c\/i\u003esystem of its first semi-centennial; to examinations of migration trends and geography; and critical evaluations of China's 2014 urbanization blueprint and \u003ci\u003ehukou \u003c\/i\u003ereform plan. This convenient assemblage contains many of Chan's recent important works. Together they also form a relatively coherent set on this topic. They are essential readings to anyone serious about gaining a true understanding of the prodigious urbanization in contemporary China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kam Wing Chan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036726482X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367264826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Kam Wing Chan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48152974655743,"sku":"9780367264826","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_affc2380-b389-4101-9530-949e564ad284.jpg?v=1770780456","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urbanization-with-chinese-characteristics-kam-wing-chan-9780367264826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
