Features: In a cultural context characterized by diversity and change, our urbanization research in ethnic regions combines tradition and modernity, history and reality, reflecting a comprehensive inclination in economic, cultural, and institutional studies. This book selects multiple cities and rural areas in the four northwestern provinces as field research sites, aiming to generalize from specific cases and use the studies of several representative cities and communities to illuminate the urbanization strategies in the ethnic regions of the four northwestern provinces. It seeks to gauge the pulse of urbanization strategies in ethnic regions with diverse forms through the research of several cities and their main areas. The book is divided into two major sections: one is urbanization research in ethnic regions, and the other is the construction of ethnic communities during the urbanization process. The book focuses primarily on the second section. The content of this section mainly consists of case studies, discussing urbanization construction in provinces such as Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang. The second section primarily focuses on the issue of ethnic community construction during the urbanization process.
