Since China announced the carbon neutrality plan in autumn 2020, no study has looked at the role of city clusters in achieving this long-term plan. Hence, this study is believed to be the first attempt to explore this important topic from the city cluster perspective. It explores the challenges, opportunities, and directions of all 19 city clusters, allowing readers to have a clear picture of China?s historical and ongoing progress, as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. In a short time, China?s city clusters have helped boost regional economic development, infrastructure development, trade and business, and better urban?rural integration. With enhanced coordination of connection and transport networks in and between the city clusters, we see a growing number of initiatives beyond just the initial economic strategies. The dual approach of top-down policies and infrastructure systems and bottom-up governance and investments has helped China consider urban?rural development strategies and regional sustainable development. These factors are essential to be explored from the city cluster perspective and in line with China?s sustainable development and carbon neutrality directions. Hence, the book covers these points holistically, ensuring that regional planning and development are favored in the face of uneven urbanization trends. We anticipate this book to be a valuable resource for local governments and authorities, urban planners and practitioners, developers, and urban researchers. While the focus is on China?s city clusters, we believe there are similar examples elsewhere. Hence, lessons learnt from this book could apply to other countries, regions, and subregions. Lastly, the book aims to put regional sustainable development at the heart of longer-term strategies and plans,such as the case of China?s carbon neutrality plan. 410 0$aUrban Sustainability,$x2731-6491 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aPolicy Implementation 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aPolicy Implementation. 676 $a307.1216 700 $aCheshmehzangi$b Ali$0849626 702 $aTang$b Tian 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633935603321 996 $aChina's City Cluster Development in the Race to Carbon Neutrality$92995232 997 $aUNINA
