The conference is sponsored by the Economic Social and Research Council (ESRC) and UK Department for International Development (DFID) and supported by research partner institutions. The first conference was well received and results in a series of journal special issues in International Urban and Regional Research, Town Planning Review, The Built Environment, and Urban Design International. The world has become quite different since the global financial crisis in 2008. China is becoming a major focus of global economic and environment changes.In the post-crisis era, China continues to face the challenges from rural to urban migration, economic restructuring and urban redevelopment. Tremendous social and economic changes have triggered the transformation of urban space in China. Now Chinese cities are characterized by distinctive and contrasting spaces such as migrant villages and suburban gated communities. Chinese cities provide an interesting case for understanding contemporary urban restructuring in the world. This conference will provide an opportunity for researchers in urban studies, geography, sociology, political sciences, and city planning as well as China studies to explore multi-facets of China’s urban transition and the policy implications for city planning and development.Conference themesWe invite papers on any of the following themes and also welcome proposals for additional themes to be incorporated into the final program.
