Review and Prospect of Urban Shrinkage in China from the Perspective of Spatial Governance
With China's urbanization entering a mature stage,economic growth slow-ing down,and the gradual arrival of the era of negative population growth,urban shrinkage has become an important issue worthy of high attention in China's modern-ization process.This paper proposes that spatial governance is an important perspec-tive for the study of urban shrinkage in China.Based on the review of relevant re-search progress since 2010,this paper argues that it is necessary to deepen the un-derstanding of China's urban development paradigm in the context of population con-traction,and discusses notable issues in China's urban contraction phenomenon from the perspective of spatial governance,including basic research,spatial focus research,planning and governance research.The purpose is to provide reference for the theo-retical research of urban shrinkage phenomenon and the practical exploration of spa-tial governance in China in the new era.
