ABSTRACT

In recent years, the rapid metropolitan growth and expansion have led to the exploration of the peri-urbanization process and concerns on community well-being in peri-urban areas. To achieve a better understanding of peri-urbanization, this article reviews the peri-urban definition, its dynamic drivers, and the development of peri-urbanization in Chinese cities. Based on the impact of peri-urbanization on community well-being, this article discusses the challenges and the way forward for the sustainable development of Chinese peri-urban communities.
