'China's Urban-Rural Relations: Myths, Lessons, and Legacy of the New-Type Urbanisation Plan' offers a critical and timely examination of one of the most ambitious transformation agendas of the 21st century. The book examines how China's New-Type Urbanisation Plan has changed the connection between cities and the countryside--spatially, economically, institutionally, and socially--moving beyond celebratory narratives and crude criticisms. This book fundamentally questions the notion that urbanisation is a neutral or consistently advantageous development. It contends that although China's approach has brought about previously unheard-of levels of scale, speed, and connection, it has also resulted in uneven outcomes, enduring inequality, and contentious forms of integration. As described above, urban-rural change is a complicated and frequently conflicting process influenced by distributional dynamics, institutional frameworks, and governance decisions rather than a straight line toward equilibrium. Architects, planners and scholars will find it of interest.
