He introduced the energy issue included in China’s urbanization drive, and analyzed the major features of China’s urban areas from the perspective of city scale, local distribution and development phases. He made a comparison between Beijing’s Hutong and city texture of new development areas, and came to the conclusion that the urbanization drive in China is now deviating from “putting people first”, many problems occurred in environment and society because of excessive vehicle usage.
