Main Theme

Paradigm Shift to Quality Urbanization

After years of rapid urbanization that emphasized construction and economic growth, China is entering a new era of urban development with a policy attention on the quality of urbanization. This paradigm shift is timely, but also challenging. The past model has led to serious environmental degradation, distortions in land and housing markets, and worsening wealth inequalities, which must be addressed through the new effort for quality urbanization. Climate change, aging, and emerging technologies also pose new challenges and opportunities. China can learn significantly from global experiences in new urbanism, and its pursuit for quality urbanization will also be crucial for the successful implementation of the New Urban Agenda, which was adopted by national governments at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III).

This conference continues the series of International Conferences on China Urban Development, previously held in Cardiff, Hong Kong, Shanghai, London, and Glasgow. It will bring together researchers from urban studies, geography, sociology, economics, political science, urban planning, urban management and public policy as well as China studies, and from different parts of the world, to share empirical and policy research findings on urbanization and urbanism. It will provide a platform to explore the complex process of urban development in China, and to debate policy and actions towards quality urbanization in an increasingly uncertain world.

Conference Format

This will be a two-day conference with (i) two half-day plenary sessions for keynote speeches by invited distinguished scholars, (ii) 6-8 half-day parallel sessions for presentations by scholars, and (iii) 6-8 half-day parallel sessions for presentation by graduate students, with invited scholars as discussants. Local study tours will be arranged.
