Georgia Tech Sam Nunn School of International Affairs Professor Fei-Ling Wang wrote “China's Push for Megacities: Is Bigger Better?" in the China-Britain Business Council's publication, FOCUS Magazine, June 4.
Excerpt:
"In 1978, before Deng Xiaoping's Opening Up and Reform policy, only 18 percent of China's population lived in urban areas. Over the next 40 years, as the economy boomed, that number swelled to well over three quarters of a billion people, and, by 2030, a billion people are expected to live in China's cities."
The Nunn School is a unit of Georgia Tech's Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.
