AB  - China′s market‐oriented reforms have brought about fundamental
changes not just to its economy, but also to urban governance. The
reforms have significantly changed urban development from its previous
pattern which was largely determined by decision makers within the
central government. Reform measures have transformed the role, functions
and processes of urban government and have made them a force to be
reckoned with in the whole reform endeavour. Examines and analyses
issues of administrative reform at the urban government level in ten
years of economic reform since 1979. Looks at three aspects of the
problem – the trend towards financial decentralization;
institutional changes in local administration; and changes in the
relationship between urban government and the local economy. Argues that
there is an unfinished agenda of administrative reform that needs to be
faced by the authorities concerned if the mighty endeavour of economic
reform is to succeed.
