Abstract:
This study explores spatial
distribution of urban development in China, and examines the changes it
has undergone-first with the People’s Revolution and then with the growth
explosion under recent economic reforms. The research utilizes statistical
analysis to identify the most critical variables affecting recent shifts
in urban development, uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to project
spatial distribution of future development, and briefly addresses the
transition to land use rights and the emergence of real estate markets.
