The book explains how this transformation is reshaping China’s economy, society, environment, and political system. Miller explores the development of megacities, infrastructure expansion, housing policies, migration challenges, and the “hukou” household registration system that affects access to services for migrants. He also highlights the opportunities and tensions created by this urban boom, including economic growth, rising inequality, environmental stress, and cultural change. Through on-the-ground reporting, the book provides a detailed picture of how urbanization is redefining modern China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"5ufj0k\" data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"874\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1390\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eTom Miller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is a British journalist, researcher, and writer specializing in China’s politics, economy, and development.
