Abstract

Under Mao, China followed a Soviet-style development strategy based on industrial growth and under-urbanization. The regional dimension of such policy was largely shaped by defence considerations. The reforms of the 1980s include territory planning - a new, more comprehensive approach to regional planning and development. The national territory planning outlines are reviewed, and a case study of territory planning in Shaanxi Province is used to illustrate the process of plan-making. Territory planning is interpreted as an attempt to move towards a more market-based and decentralized form of development planning, while still operating within the confines of a centrally planned socialist economy. Interesting features are the new emphasis on environmental protection and the acceptance of substantial urbanization. -from Authors
