MBA Lectern: How Far Ahead Can China’s Urbanization Go? / MBA Info-Session

Jan 14-2024   



China’s economic expansion over the last few decades has gone hand in hand with rapid urbanization. Now that the population ages and the economy slows down, does China still have the potential for further urbanization? What challenges and opportunities lie ahead? This lecture will analyze relevant issues from such perspectives as economic patterns, institutional foundation, and policy constraints, thereby providing a miniscule economics class for young learners who care to follow China’s economic development.
