Description

Economic reform in China has resulted in a widening gap between the rich and the poor, and urban poverty has emerged as a key factor which may affect future development.

This new book examines the poverty problem in relation to housing and social changes in large inland cities, and assesses the effectiveness of recent government anti-poverty policies.

The book also puts the Chinese experience in the wider context of transitional economies and discusses the similarities and differences between China and Central and Eastern European countries.

The book is based on a long period of research on Chinese urban development, and benefited from several research projects conducted in Chinese cities.

It is an important reference for all of those interested in housing, urban studies and social change, and is a key text for students of the Chinese economy and society.
