In this study Jiabao Sun asks: who are the winners and who are the losers in this process?This book uses two case studies of different modes of state-led rural urbanization - in the villages of Tianjin and Zhejiang - in order to assess the impact on the livelihoods of the villagers, as well as the success of the development initiatives.
