It covers a series of classical topics like industrial location and industrial dynamics and some emerging fields like industrial evolution and global¿local interaction and links them to environmental performance in China. The findings in this book echo the call for developing a more comprehensive and systematic research agenda of environmental economic geography. This book offers researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students in related fields both theoretical and practical considerations of environmental economic geography. It also offers insights into the policy-making relevant to Chinäs greening efforts.
