During the past decades, urbanization in China has centered on
land development through industrialization and investment, but it
has largely ignored the prosperity and well-being of the people.
Livable cities are not just those with magnificent buildings and
infrastructure; they are great places where people want to live.
China’s recently inaugurated leaders have proposed a new model to
actively and prudently enhance the quality of urbanization
through compact, intelligent, and low-carbon development. It
symbolizes the departure from land-centered urban development to
a form of people-oriented urbanization, as China’s Premier, Li
Keqiang, has advocated.

This new model offers a platform for planning researchers and
practitioners to tackle urbanization challenges, such as social
equity, environment, energy, ecological and historic
preservation, affordable housing, and externalities of mega
cities. Furthermore, people-oriented urbanization calls for
public participation and stakeholder engagement in the planning
process. This book brings together planners, designers, scholars,
scientists, and government officials from China and all over the
world to exchange ideas on urban regeneration.
