Features: This book is a new work on researching the laws of urban economic operation in the new era at the turn of the century. It takes the world urban economy during the era of transition at the turn of the century as its basic object, with the urban economy of China in the process of reform and opening-up as its focus. Based on the theories of urban economics, economics, and regional economics, the book explores the historical evolution of urban economies over 4,000 years, particularly the past 100 years, vertically, and analyzes the new situations, problems, and characteristics of modern urban economies horizontally. It reveals new principles of urban economic operation in contemporary society, especially under China's market economy conditions, and logically explains the "two transformations" of China's urban economy. This book is highly applicable for urban economic researchers, urban science researchers, urban economic leaders and managers, and individuals studying urban economics and urban science. It can also be used as a learning and reference material for faculty and students of relevant disciplines in colleges and universities.
