Whither rural China?

.

Chapter 11 in Transforming Rural China, 2024, pp 278-296 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The book concludes by addressing some of the more immediate issues affecting the future of the Chinese countryside. Topics covered include food security (and how the need to increase agricultural production may be met), climate change (which has the potential to impact adversely on food security), control of urban sprawl (with the possibility that much of the eastern seaboard will become an amorphous mixture of cities linked by desakota countryside), ongoing ecological remediation (and how this can occur alongside the need for economic growth), and the stated intent to advance rural industrialisation to spread economic growth from the city to the country.
