By 2030, China's cities will be home to 1 billion people - one in every eight people on earth. What kind of lives will China's urban billion lead? And what will China's cities be like?
Over the past thirty years, China's urban population expanded by 500 million people, and is on track to swell by a further 300 million by 2030. Hundreds of millions of these new urban residents are rural migrants, who lead second-class lives without access to urban benefits. Even those lucky citizens who live in modern tower blocks must put up with clogged roads, polluted skies and cityscapes of unremitting ugliness. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities.
Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved. If its leaders get urbanization right, China will surpass the United States and cement its position as the world's largest economy. But if they get it wrong, China could spend the next twenty years languishing in middle-income torpor, its cities pockmarked by giant slums.
作者是个久居中国的老外,他来评述分析中国城市化问题,本身就很有看头。读罢全书,作者对中国确实有相当程度的了解,至少在城市化和普通老百姓生活上,他是做了大量调查的,所以必担心“不接地气”。 全书总体上是对中国城市化进程持乐观态度的,但也流露出了几点担忧:城市化...
评分现今好像很流行外国人看中国这样的题材,当然这是好事,至少表明我们愿意接受批评和建议。作者是记者,与《江城》的作者何伟选择以小城居民为切入点不同的是,米勒选择了宏观的视角,从政策层面去理解中国的城镇化。城镇化无疑是趋势。如何高效平稳落地。是举国关注和亟...
评分说在前面的话: 规模庞大的流动人口在创造了GDP辉煌的同时对于自己的命运却无能为力。挥洒汗水的城市成为了无情地寄居地,自己则以“二等公民”的身份毫无存在感的游走。 天地之间无依无存 ——评《中国十亿城民》 文|杜子腾 诺大的中国像一片巨大的改革试验场,960万平方公...

评分2011年底,我在游学七年后回到北京,期待过上安居乐业的生活。然而,我却在随后三年里五次搬家,并经历了三件与房产有关的大事。一是大舅一家在陕西县城的田地遭当地政府低价强征。年届七十的大舅率众抗争,被关进看守所,他只好签字卖地。二是我所在的北京师范大学在...
很可以看,挺好的。
评分读一个中国通的老外写的中国,写中国的城市化,总是感觉比看国内的新闻更加贴近现实,更入木三分。
评分作者把问题解释得很清楚,提出的解决方法非常实际。
评分鄂尔多斯什么的不可能是鬼城
