China’s great migration- China’s Henan province has a population of about 100 million -- larger than that of most countries. In China’s administrative system, a province is at the highest level of subnational government, followed by counties, cities, and townships. (click for full article...
Thus, it can be argued that Chinese urbanization is a long social development process that will require approximately 20 years to complete and that the ultimate urbanization level will be 75–80%, which means that in the distant future, 20–25% of China’s population will still settle in ...

Data shows the outstanding performance of Chinese cities in attracting and reserving researchers. Beijing, one of the 20 cities, has the largest researcher population, followed by Shanghai, London, Boston and New York. Chinese cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong) are in the top f...
Top 10 Chinese cities by urban resident population Shanghai ranked first across China by resident population in urban areas, with the figure reaching 19.87 million, followed by Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Guangzhou, according to an official report on the seventh China population census....
Also worth mentioning is Southwest China's Chongqing, with a population increase of 3.2 million, was the only one of the four municipalities to rank in the top 10 cities for population growth from 2010 to 2020. Provincial capitals, economic and industrial hubs, tend to attract more people, an...
Before 2010, there were no formal UCGs in Chinese cities [25]; residents spontaneously occupied open public space, usually green space, by creating self-claimed vegetable lots in many corners of cities [26]. Like many illegal UCG practices abroad, this spontaneously formed open gardening space [...
One city’s population density (lnPD) is not only negatively correlated with its SO2 emissions, but it is also negatively impacted by its competing cities’ sulfur emissions, further supporting the spatial interaction effects on SO2 emissions among local governments. In contrast, the CO2 emissions ...
Meanwhile, some of China’s most populous cities—Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Chongqing—are administered directly by the central government, and do not fall under provincial control. In fact, Shanghai and Beijing have informal “population caps” to prevent them from growing larger, in a ...
Human activities can affect wildlife species' population density by altering the predatory pressure in cities (Shochat et al., 2006). For example, artificial night illumination can increase the ability of predators to detect prey in dark conditions (Gaston et al., 2013). Birds are more numerous...
