Chinas rapid pace of both urbanization and industrialization has made its being the?second largest
economy but meantime a heavy environmental price has been paid over the past?few decades for
addressing the economic developmental target. Today, as the biggest?developing country, China needs to

a?combined?top-down and bottom-up manner, linking international knowledge?to local-based studies.
