High Efficiency Global competitive advantage of industrial development Second largest economy in the world 500 million population migrate from rural to urban area after reform and open
None-agricultural employment of rural labor force

Five characteristics of Urbanization in China 01 Large Nation’s Urbanization 02 Various Urbanization Paths
03 Migrant birds 04 Guided by Government 05 Restricted by Resources and Agriculture
01 Large Nation’s Urbanization Large in population, territory area, and economy Only 24 countries can be compared with China (Territory area is larger than 2 million km2 or GDP is larger than 650 billion dollar) Large domestic market need, benefit for economy self-organization Large area, benefit for plan and arrangement wholly

Ghost City: (1) Temporary ghost city Lack of employment and public services because of newly built
(2) Truly ghost city Wrong decision making by government Tax reform in 1994 Pay more attention to landscape rather than the sustainable development (Easily for promotion) Wrong decision making by developer Over-optimistic about real estate market Wrong decision making by resident Lack of investment channel Lack of social welfare guarantee
Solutionďź&#x161; (By Central Committee Urbanization Conference) (1) Promote citizenize of migrants (2) Increase urban land use efficiency
(3) Sustainable financial and fiscal guarantee Local tax reform
(4) Optimize layout and structure of urbanization (5) Improve urban development quality See the mountain, see the river, remember the nostalgia
(6) Enforce the management of urbanization
