Upon the identification of the guiding principles and major objectives of China's new urbanization following a heated debate in 2013, China's urbanization has embarked on a new journey.
Industrialization and urbanization are seen as twin processes of economic development, one creating the supply and one influencing the demand. To digest the excess capacity brought by industrialization, how should China promote urbanization in the aspects of infrastructure construction and consumption expansion? Finding an answer to this question can help solve China's most pressing economic issues and provide sustained momentum for China's economic development. Urbanization, however, is not just an economic issue, but also of general social importance. The plight of migrant workers is that they can neither integrate themselves into urban life nor go back to the countryside. It should be a key priority of urbanization to provide China's large population of migrant workers with real access to urban resources and development dividends so as to promote China's moderation process. In light of this, will the current measures such as the transfer of rural land-use rights, the breakthroughs in household registration system, and the "urban conglomeration strategy" be enough to resolve such key issues? What lessons can we draw from the development of Xiaogang Village in Anhui Providence, the experience of Chongqing Municipality in dealing with idle rural land, and the practices of such provinces as Heilongjiang and Guangdong in the transfer of rural land-use rights? How should real estate developers rationally plan their development as a response to the new urbanization strategy? Against the backdrop of China's new urbanization, it is a test of wisdom as capitals rush to capture the new opportunities in industrial upgrading and restructuring.
This forum will bring together the wisdom of enterprises, industry associations, research institutes and scholars from both mainland China and Hong Kong to explore the strategic opportunities and challenges brought by China’s new urbanization.
