Description
Kai Cheng, recently got his PhD from the University of Birmingham and will be presenting his paper The Impact of the Environment on Urbanisation During the late Qing Dynasty.
ABSTRACT:
In this paper we examine the relationship between environmental factors and urbanisation both theoretically and empirically. The aim is to provide additional inputs into the explanation for the Great Divergence. Compared with previous studies, we apply a rural-urban migration framework to the late Qing dynasty to establish a link between urbanisation and environmental factors.
