《China's Urban Pattern（精）》由Chuanglin Fang、Danlin Yu、Hanying Mao、Chao Bao、Jinchuan Huang著。 The book embarks on the tasks to systcmatically analyze the macro background of the spatial patterns of China's urban developlnent, the theoretical foundations and framework, and its changing trajectory. From a quantitative perspective, we attempt to ewduate the rationale behind the spatial patterns ol:(]hina's urban development and syslematically silnulate the wuious scenarios. From the simulation results, we propose the optimizing goals, priorities, models, and strategies for the spatial patterns of China's urban development. "1 he work in this book attempts to provide constructive suggestions and potential strategies to support the effort to optimize the spatial patterns ol China's urban development. It would be a valuable reference for planning departments,development and reform commiltees, and science and technology administrative departments at various governmental levels. It could also be a valuable addition to graduate students of urban planning, urban development, urban geography and relevant disciplines.
