China’s urban population has grown from about 200 million in 1980 to about 800 million or 59% in 2018: that is about twice the total population of the USA and 1.5 times the total population of the EU. China has over 100 cities with over a million people. There are also more and more papers being written about urbanisation in China. However, urban development in China is very unlike urban development in the west or in many other developing countries. Despite the growth of a large, dynamic market sector, China is still a Communist country in terms of the pervasive and leading role of the party and the state. The question posed in this commentary is whether urbanisation in China is unique; or, to be more precise, whether the post-reform Chinese experience of urbanisation since around 1980 is so unusual that it constitutes an entirely unique case which lies outside conventional generali...

Following Louis Chauvel’s work in France, the impact of economic transformation on different age cohorts is examined, and a ‘lucky generation’ is identified, made up notably of those born between the mid-1960s and the mid-1980s, who were educated and whose working lives coincided with the expansion of economic and social opportunities in the reform era. Its fortunes are contrasted with other age cohorts and with the groups formerly employed in north-eastern rust-belt states and collectively owned enterprises, rural dwellers and rural–urban migrants.
