"It is well known that rapid urbanization and industrialization in China have had serious consequences for China's environment. Far less recognized are the wide ranging efforts undertaken in China to try to control and reverse the effects of this environmental damage. The chapters in this volume do an excellent job of filling that gap."
Joyce Yanyun Man was founding director of the Peking University–Lincoln Institute Center for Urban Development and Land Policy in Beijing from 2007 to 2013.
