It identifies four major features: the transition from peripheral to core cities, the decline of urban minority populations in the central region, the emergence of city agglomerations in the eastern region, and the benefits of supportive policies in shaping regional minority population concentrations. It provides insights into Chinese urbanization processes and their inter\/intra-relating mechanisms in ethnic minority areas, making it a valuable resource for scholars, policy, and decision-makers. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 104 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08 July 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Verlag, Singapore\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book delves into the intricate process of urbanization in China, shedding light on the remarkable transformations that have taken place over the past two decades. Through a comprehensive analysis, it identifies four key features that have shaped the mobility patterns of ethnic minorities within the country. Firstly, the book highlights the three-stage peripheral-to-core transition pattern observed among ethnic minorities, where they gradually move from rural to urban areas, often starting in the periphery and gradually consolidating their presence in the core cities. Secondly, it notes the significant decline in the urban minority population in the central region of China, particularly since 2000, a trend that has been attributed to various factors such as economic development, migration, and demographic changes. Thirdly, the book emphasizes the emergence of city agglomerations located in the eastern region of China, which have become pivotal in minority urbanization, particularly in the Yangtze and Pearl River Delta. These agglomerations have experienced rapid growth and have become significant centers of economic activity and cultural exchange for ethnic minorities. Lastly, the book recognizes the enduring benefits of supportive policies that have facilitated the concentration of minority populations in urban areas, both in China's western region and its autonomous areas. By presenting the first comprehensive, retrospective study on the evolution of the spatial-temporal distribution of ethnic groups, based on the three most recent national censuses, the book offers valuable insights into the complex processes of urbanization in ethnic minority regions. It provides a deeper understanding of the inter\/intra-relating mechanisms that shape these processes and serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, and decision-makers seeking to promote sustainable and inclusive urbanization in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811630200\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gaoxiang Li,Huhua Cao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103415890170,"sku":"9789811630200","price":45.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646403834983_book.jpg?v=1646996184","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/understanding-spatialtemporal-patterns-of-the-ethnic-minority-mobility-in-chinas-urbanization-9789811630200","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
