Week 2: Uneven Development and Regional Disparities (45 items)

This lecture examines the regional development trend by looking at how the Open Doorreform policies have contributed to the concentration of resources and investment in theeastern coastal region, and how the central government has attempted to address therising concern over time about the lagging central and western regions. Does the rise ofregional disparities a transient phenomenon that will fade away as the wealth tricklesdown? Is uneven development of regions a precondition to economic development thatmay remain permanent? How successful will be the current government policies designedto address regional and social inequalities through an expansion of the domestic market?The lecture reviews existing debates and research findings about inter- and intra-regionaldisparities, and relevant government policies that influenced the changes in the degree ofregional disparities during the last three decades.

Week 5: Urban Accumulation and Land Development (40 items)

The lecture examines how urban housing and land development has come to be anintegral component of China's speculative urban accumulation, and what impacts it has onpeople's lives. At household level, it discusses the unequal distribution of housing assets,the path-dependent nature of such inequalities, and the meaning of housing ownership inChinese society. With regard to municipal governments, the lecture reviews how housingand land development has come to be an important means to achieve local developmentgoals, and how these immobile properties have become important assets for localaccumulation. The latter aspect has an important significance for urbanisation, asmunicipal governments strive to promote territorial expansion to bring more landresources under their control, and also facilitate urban redevelopment in inner city areas.

Week 11: Public Participation and Rights Activism (37 items)

China's development involves reconfiguration of the state-society relationship. This lectureon the political dimension of development and disparity examines how local states inChina and the officials' upward accountability to meet performance targets result in theproduction of a relatively narrow space for local residents' efforts to challenge or changethe course of government schemes. Participation in government-organised orgovernment-sanctioned space as well as in non-sanctioned space will be discussed.Various newly emerging grassroots organisations and their rights claims in urban space arealso to be reviewed, while paying attention to both traditional and more contemporarytypes of disputes ranging from labour struggles to environmental activism.

Chongqing: Urban-rural Integration and Economic Development (20items)

Guest Lecture by Professor Mick Dunford at the University of Sussex

 

In the recent past Chongqing Municipality in south-western China has achieved stellarrates of economic growth. It development is a reflection of a model of rapid urbanisationinvolving integrated urban and rural development and including: household registrationreform; the integration of rural and urban markets for land and finance; integrated urbanand rural planning, infrastructure provision and services including urban renewal, publichousing, rural social security and poverty alleviation and development. The ambition ofthis model is to combine equity and efficiency promoting people's livelihoods and reducingthe 'three gaps' between rural and urban areas, different regions, and rich and poorpeople. The model however also demonstrates the centrality of geographical perspectivesthat emphasize the integration, synthesis and co-ordination of the multiple drivers ofurbanization that this paper also seeks to conceptualize in a novel manner.
