Review :
"It is well known that rapid urbanization and industrialization in China have had serious consequences for China's environment. Far less recognized are the wide ranging efforts undertaken in China to try to control and reverse the effects of this environmental damage. The chapters in this volume do an excellent job of filling that gap." "The chapters in this book trace the recent evolution of environmental regulations in China, including the increasing responsibility of local governments for the enforcement of such regulation. The volume documents the improvement in air quality in many Chinese cities despite the population growth and the huge increase in commuting and automobile use. In addition, the chapters analyze the extent to which improvements are due to better regulatory systems with improved enforcement, greener production processes, and deindustrialization of the largest cities as they become more service oriented. This book will be of great use to both scholars and practitioners."
