Features: Based on the theories of environmental economics, this book takes urbanization and urban development as the main thread, with Shanghai as a case study, to research the demands and impacts of urban development on the geological environment.

The book proposes ideas for institutional arrangements to effectively protect the urban geological environment and puts forward several policy recommendations.
