China's urbanization rate in 2005 was about 43%. Over the next 10-15 years, it is expected to rise to well over 50%, adding an additional 200 million mainly rural migrants to the current urban population of 560 million. How China copes with such a large migration flow will strongly influence rural-urban inequality, the pace at which urban centers expand their economic performance, and the urban environment. The growing population will necessitate a big push strategy to maintain a high rate Directions in development (Washington, D.C.)Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Countries and regions.World Bank e-Library.City planningChinaUrbanizationChinaChinaPopulationChinaEconomic conditions2000-City planningUrbanization307.1/2160951Yusuf Shahid1949-127446Saich Tony244557DLCDLCBTCTAYDXCPUKMBAKERC#PBWXCDXDLCBOOK9910778247103321China urbanizes3834157UNINA
