Contents Shanxi province as case study : regional inequalities, local development and social transformations -- Urbanization, rural-urban linkages and the urban labour market -- Housing reform -- Decentralization and the consequences for the promotion of local social security schemes -- Social policy transformations and the delivery of public services at the local level : the cases of health and education
Summary This book, as a case study of small town China using Hongton County, Shanxi Province as its focus, suggests that outside the larger cities there may be alternative accounts of urban social change and the integration of rural migrant workers and that China's transformation may not necessarily result in dysfunctional and social polarized urban environments
