While most attention is given to the booming mega-cities in China and the
associated problems of over-population, the rural areas in China are being
largely ignored. Yet, a sustainable development of the rural areas is precisely
that, which will be decisive for China’s future. Through its rapid development
into an industrial country, China now needs to tackle far-reaching problems
such as increasing population, growing income gap between the poor and the
rich, rural exodus, decreased agricultural production, and environmental
pollution. “Rural Urban Framework” is a work group at the University of Hong Kong that not
only researches the far-reaching changes of the last thirty years in China’s
rural areas, but has also realized concrete projects aimed at improving supply
and infrastructure on site. In this publication, the authors present for the
first time the results of their research as well as their built projects in the
Chinese backlands, and question whether China’s only future model lies in
cities.
