AbstractIn China policies to restrain city size continue to be important and have been seen as the main route for the country's urban development since the 1950s. This paper attempts to evaluate this policy's theoretical adequacy and practical suitability. Alongside a brief review of both theoretical debates and the evolution of Chinese urban policy on city size, it focuses on an empirical examination of city efficiency, taking into account both urban size and regional location. The intention is to discuss the present-day economic, social and environmental position of Chinese cities. Based upon this account, and in line with the broader considerations of national development policy, policies for future urban development in China are also discussed. -from Authors
