Sustainable and Liveable Cities: Toward Ecological Civilization

The report explores the current urban transformation in China from the perspective of human development and primarily considers its impacts on the people of China. It takes a sweeping look at the urban transformation of the last few decades, and its drivers, impacts and growing challenges and the opportunities brought by urbanisation in order to answer two main questions: how can we make China’s cities more liveable, and how can we ensure that citizens better enjoy the potentials associated with urban growth?
