Strong economic growth has been accompanied by unprecedented rapid urbanization in China over the past 20 years. The share of urban population has increased from 26 percent in 1990 to nearly 50 percent in 2010, and the number of urban population is expected to increase from 622 million today to nearly 1 billion by 2030.
With continuing urbanization, municipal governments face a major challenge to ensure that urban development is achieved in a sustainable manner. This requires municipal governments to ensure efficient utilization of natural, financial, and human resources, mitigation of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, development of collaborative institutional management structures, implementation of policies conducive t sustainable government and business practices, and sustainable development of urban land use and integrated multi-modal urban transport systems.
