Xian
AbstractPR China is a socialist, developing country, currently undergoing extensive urban, economic and political reform. The Chinese government is pursuing a policy of planned urban growth and modernization, and since Xian is one of the largest cities in the country, its growth is being strictly controlled. Xian is well known for its association with traditional Chinese culture, and has an interesting history: once a powerful centre for political authority, it suffered a decline in importance until 1949, and is now a regional industrial metropolis. This article examines its housing policy and programmes and urban population growth in the light of this history, and the influence of national politics (including the extensive reforms and the more recent opendoor policy).
