China's Economic Growth The Impact on Regions, Migration and the Environment

Economic reforms in China began in 1979, which allowed for astonishing economic growth and induced profound social and environmental shifts. This volume looks at effects of the reform on the demography of the country (especially migration and urbanization) and on the environment. A third section examines various problems of environmental degradation in relation to natural processes and human efforts to mitigate their effects.Cannon, Terry is the author of 'China's Economic Growth The Impact on Regions, Migration and the Environment' with ISBN 9780312232177 and ISBN 0312232179.
