Book Privatization of Urban Land in Shanghai

Download or read book Privatization of Urban Land in Shanghai written by Ling Hin Li and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 1996-10-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides researchers and practitioners with an informed study of the land and real estate market in Shanghai. While, there are a number of well-researched books devoted to studying the economic consequences of China's transition to the capitalist market system, few are written about the country's privatization of land control. This book fills the gap by examining the land market mechanism arising from the land use rights reform in Shanghai, which has important implications for real estate development in China as a whole.

Book Urban Development in China under the Institution of Land Rights

Download or read book Urban Development in China under the Institution of Land Rights written by Jieming Zhu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have the development and redevelopment of China’s cities since the early 1950s transformed the settlements and fortunes of a fifth of the world’s population? Rapid urbanization since the 1980s has changed the nation from a rural society to an urban one, marking it as one of the most significant transformations in history. As a country with severe land scarcity, land resources are intensively contested for during urbanization under the new regime of marketization. This book focuses on the impact of the institution of land rights that have transitioned from private ownership to socialist state ownership, and subsequently to public land leasing in the urban domain, and to collective ownership in rural areas. In the context of defining the relationship between the state and the market, the gradualist transition of land rights gives rise to intriguing processes of place-making. The elaboration of these processes will engage several revealing conceptual notions: land as a means of production, land commodification, ambiguous land rights, incomplete land rights, trading land use rights for land development rights, institutional uncertainty, land rent seeking and dissipating, local developmental state, danwei-enterprises, and more. The newly created landed interests are embedded intricately within the urban spatial structure. This book would especially be of interest to scholars interested in developmental economics, urban planning, geography, public policies, public management, and sociology, and also practitioners focusing on development and planning.

Book excerpt: This book attempts to broaden and deepen our understanding of the vital important and increasingly significant topic of China's housing reform in the process of transition from a planned economy to a market one.

It provides a comprehensive and timely analysis of the rationales, objectives, instruments and performance of housing privatisation in China and uncovers possible risk outcomes of privatisation and potential conflicts involved in the process of privatisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s extraordinary economic boom since the late 1970s has been accompanied by massive urbanization, with the proportion of the population living in cities rising from 18% in 1978 to 54% in 2014. Currently the Chinese government has amongst its objectives the target to increase this to 60% by 2020, and also to improve the quality of China’s cities. This book examines a wide range of issues connected to China’s urbanization. It considers the many problems which have come with rapid urbanization, including urban housing problems, difficulties affecting rural migrants in urban areas, and a lack of social protection. It examines areas of current reform, including land reform, shanty town renewal and moves to address environmental problems. It explores governance issues, and throughout assesses how urbanization in China is likely to develop in future.

Book Understanding China   s Real Estate Markets

Download or read book Understanding China s Real Estate Markets written by Bing Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s economy has been transforming rapidly over the last 25 years. As a result, Chinese conurbations have changed remarkably, with cities expanding both vertically and horizontally, and the physical environment acting as a medium for unprecedented urbanization. This has provided vast opportunities for investors, real estate developers, and service companies, but also presents huge challenges—as traditional city spaces have been reconfigured, environmental risks and the volatility of real estate markets increased. However, as engagement with China is becoming strategically important for many, forming a synthesized lens through which to read China across the vicissitudes of its real estate sector bears historic significance. By offering an insightful framework and structure for understanding China’s variegated real estate dynamics, players, and markets, Understanding China’s Real Estate Markets codifies the principles and practices of real estate development, finance, and investment in China and builds foundations for future academic research and practical knowledge in shaping and engaging the urban environment within China and beyond.
