Features: The book is divided into nine chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the purpose of the book, academic progress, and the research content and approaches. Chapter 2 introduces the theoretical foundations of suburbanization research internationally. Chapter 3 provides an overview of suburbanization in major metropolitan areas abroad. The first three chapters serve as a foundation for the subsequent content. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the development of major metropolitan areas in China and the formation of urban districts, as well as the suburbanization situations in three major cities—Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. Starting from Chapter 6, with Shanghai as the focus and incorporating research findings from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, an in-depth analysis is conducted on Shanghai's urbanization history, current suburbanization status, spatial layout of suburbanization, development trends, and countermeasures. The book comprehensively explores suburbanization in China's major metropolitan areas, offering significant assistance to urban and suburban administrators, as well as urban planning researchers.
