Abstract

XUEDONG, Liu. The Dissolution of Community-Owned Lands and the Urban System in China 1990-2015. Prob. Des [online]. 2017, vol.48, n.189, pp.169-188. ISSN 0301-7036.

Urbanization is an essential process to modernize an economy, and it should, in turn, fuel growth even more by transferring productive factors from traditional sectors with low productivity to more dynamic sectors, while at the same time gradually concentrating them in urban zones. In countries like China, a dual land ownership system is predominant. On the one hand, land located in rural areas is generally collectively owned and set aside for agricultural activities, and on the other, land in the cities is the property of the state and allocated to urban purposes.

Keywords : Urbanization; land ownership; urban population; cities; dissolution of community-owned lands.
