A Study on City Shrinkage in Areas of Minority Ethnic Groups Bordering upon Myanmar in Southwest China
In recent years,cities in the ethnic areas of southwest China bordering upon Myanmar show a shrinking tendency.Moreover,border security is at risk and social development under threat.Gen-erally speaking,it is the result of the combined effect of population aging,economic globalization,large-scale urbanization,turmoil in northern Myanmar and other issues.Therefore,to minimize the adverse in-fluence of this tendency,local authorities need to abandon the concept of inertial growth,follow the natu-ral law of rise and fall of cities,accept the tendency and act rationally-especially following the princi-ples of smart shrinkage,targeted governance and integrated development-under the guidance of the phi-losophy of Chinese-style modernization and concept of novel urbanization characterized by the notion of"people first."
