评分● 第一次看社会纪实类书籍,觉着有些难度~对于这方面的了解实在太少了,突然想到那句话“你连世界都没见过,哪来的世界观”~因为了解认知太少,所以就我而言产生的大概只是一些个人偏见了~ ● 引言提出:『到2030年,10亿中国人将居住在城市。中国十亿城民将过上怎样的生活?中...
评分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...

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.
