Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled China''s Extended Metropolitan Regions: Formation and Delimitation Submitted by ZHENG Yanting for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in October 2007 Almost 20 years have passed since the first investigation on regional in situ economic development, i.e. extended metropolitan region (EMR) formation was published. Most of the related studies focused on the functional features of the EMR, either on its economic transformation as a whole, or its feature of urban and rural mixture, which has often led to confusing with the concepts of megalopolis, desakota, or a cluster of cities. Setting out from a spatial perspective, this study has provided an alternative definition for the EMR concept: the EMR is distinctively a dispersed regional concentration with the involvement of the ''remote rural areas'' into in situ industrialization as a response to globalization. Under this new and more restricted definition, traditional metropolitan growth is not considered as aspects of EMR formation. Additionally, the continuously dispersed feature distinguishes the EMR from the polycentric city region in the DCs. Using national demographic data by county in China, we have tested our hypothetical framework. Through the examination of the regional concentration tendency (based on population and migration dynamics) and region-based urban transition (based on non-agricultural transformation in terms of employment, and underestimation of urbanization), we find that there is a dispersed regional concentration in three urban regions in China, i.e. Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Using China''s matured EMRs, the PRD and the YRD as cases, temporal and spatial analyses based on county-level demographic, economic and land use data have been conducted to further verify our hypothetical spatial pattern of the EMR. We find that there is centripetal concentration in the EMRs in 1990-2000, which can be indicated both by population/net migration and by non-agricultural transformation of land use. This spatial tendency is found to be consistent temporally and spatially with their integration with globalization, and rapid economic growth and restructuring of their spatial units. Consequently, the spatial units within the EMRs have become wealthier and more non-agricultural in character, which have acted as a global platform as a whole, than the outside counties within the same province. Moreover, the designated rural areas within the PRD have also displayed regional concentration of population and migration, in situ economic development and restructuring, and global features more dramatically than those in the outside counties in the same province. Together with the land use dispersion index, the feature of regional continuously dispersed in situ development of the EMR has been verified. Multiple regression analyses suggest that the spatial pattern of concentration and dispersion is shaped both by global forces, in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, and by local forces, such as the roles of industrialization, population density as shown in land use dispersion and urbanization in population concentration. The in situ economic transformation in the ''remote rural areas'' is mainly owing to both dramatic concentration and economic development of the EMR. In a word, the EMR is shaped by bo

China’s urban growth is unparalleled in the history of global urbanization, and will undoubtedly create huge challenges to China as it modernizes its society. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book presents an overview of the radical transformation of China’s urban space since the 1970s, arguing that to study the Chinese urbanization process one must recognize the distinctive political economy of China. After a long period as a planned socialist economy, China’s rapid entry into the global economy has raised suggestions that modernization in China will inevitably result in urban patterns and features like those of cities in developed market economies. This book argues that this is unlikely in the short term, because processes of urban transition in China must be interpreted through the lens of a unique and unprecedented juxtaposition of socialism and the market economy, which is leading to distinctive patterns of Chinese urbanization. Richly illustrated with maps, diagrams and in-depth case studies, this book will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of urban economics and policy, geography, and the development of China.

Asian urbanization is entering a new phase that differs significantly from the patterns of city growth experienced in other developing countries and in the developed world. According to a recent hypothesis, zones of intensive economic interaction between rural and urban activities are emerging. The zones appear to be a new form of socioeconomic organization that is neither rural nor urban, but preserves essential ingredients of each.
