The distinguishing features of urbanization in socialist countries.
Urbanization in developing socialist countries (DSC) is described and compared with urban growth in market-economy countries.  The author finds that "the common characteristics of DSC urbanization are mainly composed of two...factors:  firstly, they all use a similar set of economic development models.  This set of models is different from the development models of capitalist countries.  Secondly, compared with population movement in a so-called 'state of anarchy' in an urban economy, socialist countries stress that population movement, just like the deployment of other productive force elements, must submit to central economic planning, and population movement should occur in a 'planned' way."
