Urban China today has been shaped by industrialisation and economic reform. Professor Zhang Jie from the School of Architecture at Tshinghua University, Beijing, describes how a market‐driven process has resulted not only in uneven regional development across the country, but also in a lack of coherency in planning at the local level.
