Features: China is currently in the process of accelerated urbanization, and many cities have shown trends of urban expansion. During urban development, what issues will arise, how to adhere to the scientific concept of human-centered development to recognize and properly address these issues, and continuously promote the healthy development of cities—all require the attention and emphasis of all sectors of society, especially various levels of government. In light of this, in 2004, the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences concentrated its interdisciplinary research efforts on the topic of "urban corners." Through research, this book clearly defines the concept of "urban corners," classifies the seven types of "urban corners" in Beijing, provides an in-depth description of the problems in these areas, and proposes numerous valuable policy recommendations. This represents an important development in domestic research on the issue of "urban corners." The book offers both an overall overview of Beijing's "urban corners" and a detailed description of the "corner" problem; it includes in-depth analyses of "urban corners" from various perspectives by researchers, as well as detailed and reliable interview records. The book presents new insights on the issue of "urban corners," making it a pioneering research achievement. The primary readership of this book includes government decision-making and management departments, personnel from universities, research institutions, urban planning and construction units. Relevant enterprises and other interested readers can also gain inspiration from this book.
