The UrbaChina final conference was held in Paris on January 15-16, at the Palais de Chaillot.During this event, UrbaChina consortium members presented their findings and final recommendations on the research project. This was the occasion for holding productive discussions among participants on topics related to sustainable urbanisation in China, such as the rural-urban integration, the hukou system, the definition (or lack of definition) of the concept of ecocity, the consequences of the tax sharing system on local development, etc.Several presentations were dedicated to case studies on the four cities examined by the UrbaChina consortium (Shanghai, Chongqing, Kunming and Huangshan).All the ppt presentations will be accessible soon.Members of the stakeholder committee: Dwight Perkins, Françoise Ged (Cité de l’Architecture), Meng Jianjun (Tsinghua University), Michel Prouzet (Barreau de Paris), Yuan Zhigang (Fudan University), Bernard Yvetot (Orange) made some constructive remarks and emphasized the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to the studies of urbanization in China.We'd like to thank Françoise Ged for having opened the doors of this institution to our guests. ((La Cite du Patrimoine et de l'Architecture, is opened to the public, and we strongly encourage you to visit this place when in Paris).We'd like also to thank the staff of the CECMC (The research center on modern and contemporary China ) for the smooth running of this event.
