title: The spatial dimension of Chinese urbanization.
abstract: "This paper focuses on four interrelated aspects of the spatial dimension of city development [in China].  Attention is paid initially to the basic geography of urbanization, before turning to an analysis of recent trends in the pattern of urbanization.  Spatial biases throughout the present-day hierarchy are then investigated and, finally, the relationships between urbanization patterns and economic planning belts are considered."
