Spatial Mobility of Migrant Workers in Beijing, China

The book "Spatial Mobility of Migrant Workers in Beijing, China" offers an in-depth analysis of the spatial mobility of migrant workers in Beijing. It highlights the challenges faced by this group as they live and work in a rapidly changing urban environment. The author, Ran Liu, examines the social and spatial injustices resulting from urbanization and the associated urban development processes. Through a combination of policy assessments, population analyses, and housing surveys, the fate of migrant workers, who often stand on the margins of society, is thoroughly explored. The book also makes comparisons with local Beijingers affected by urban renewal initiatives and expansions. This investigation provides valuable insights into the interactions between the housing rights of migrant workers and China's global ambitions, particularly regarding the development of its capital city.
