This study offers an innovative overview of the urbanisation of China by focussing on the rural fringe and the centrality of its management in an attempt to ensure more sustainable paths of development. Challenging the current discourse on modernisation in China that focuses solely on the urban rather than the rural, this book provides insights into the current massive urbanisation that is taking place from a different angle. A re-conceptualisation of the rural dimensions of cities in a fast urbanising context equips practitioners, scholars and students with new analytical tools to observe an unprecedented and complex great urban transition.
