      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive overview of the most  recent development of Chinese cities. It discusses a broad  range of subjects of urban planning, including  environmental planning, transportation planning, historical  preservation, economic development, geographic information  systems (GIS) and other technological applications. China,  the most populous country in the world, has experienced  unprecedented urbanization in a relatively short period.  During the past decades, urbanization in China has centered  on land development through industrialization and  investment, but it has largely ignored the prosperity and  well-being of the people. Livable cities are not just those  with magnificent buildings and infrastructure; they are  great places where people want to live. China's recently  inaugurated leaders have proposed a new model to actively  and prudently enhance the quality of urbanization through  compact, intelligent, and low-carbon development. It  symbolizes the departure from land-centered urban  development to a form of people-oriented urbanization, as  China's Premier, Li Keqiang, has advocated. This new model  offers a platform for planning researchers and  practitioners to tackle urbanization challenges, such as  social equity, environment, energy, ecological and historic  preservation, affordable housing, and externalities of mega  cities. Furthermore, people-oriented urbanization calls for  public participation and stakeholder engagement in the  planning process. This book brings together planners,  designers, scholars, scientists, and government officials  from China and all over the world to exchange ideas on  urban regeneration.},
