• Sommario/riassunto: This book offers a comprehensive exploration of China's poverty alleviation resettlement efforts, particularly under the Link Policy. It examines the innovative policy measures that have transformed rural development by transferring development rights from rural to urban areas, significantly improving living conditions and eradicating poverty for millions of rural residents. The author employs a variety of research methods, including literature reviews, field observations, and econometric analyses, to assess the impacts of these policies on rural society and urban-rural dynamics. The book aims to provide insights into sustainable development and urbanism while inspiring policymakers and researchers worldwide to explore similar strategies for poverty eradication.
