Metropolitan Shenzhen : Rail plus Property for Transit-Oriented Development

Globally, cities are the source of over 70 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Cities are also the engines of the global economy, concentrating more than half the world’s population, and they are where the middle class is rapidly...
