In: Third world planning review: TWPR, Band 23, Heft 3, S. 229-248

Abstract

The introduction of administrative and economic reforms in China has led to the use of market mechanisms in allocating urban land resources. This situation has resulted in a diversified land-development process in Chinese cities. The paper addresses this issue using the example of Guangzhou, and argues that the Chinese plannig system and land market need to be reformed, and legal concepts strengthened. (DSE/DÜI)
