“…If the United Nations projections are accurate, China is expected to add an additional 380 million inhabitants to its urban areas between 2010 and 2050, raising the level of urbanization from 49.2% to 75.8% [14]. [14] Furthermore, Zhang et al [15] argue that the phenomenon occurred in Chinese territories fails to acknowledge that an important cause is a result of changes in administrative divisions since 1980s. Farrell [16] conceptualizes this multidisciplinary of the components of the urban growth as a primary mode of analysis as it is represented in Fig.…”

One of the main drivers behind the urbanization process is attributed to economic fundamentals of urban growth, which boost migration from rural to urban context. This migration can be studied geographically, with increasing rates of population as the main component in developing countries, over Asia and Africa, specifically. Research has been focusing in creating models and adaptative schemes to manage and plan cities to promote sustainable development for housing large quantities of population and preserve a long-term living environment. The approach from a smart city perspective, adjusted to the rapid urbanization condition can be helpful to deal urban issues by convergence and interaction between urban agents and information technology. At academia, few works have addressed the role of Smart Cities to face the challenge of rapid urbanization. The aim of this study is to research and analyze if strategies with smart city vision can lessen environmental impacts at cases with rapid urbanization, and how can we leverage technology to promote environmental sustainability at rapid urbanization phenomena occurring at developing countries using RIAM environmental assessment method in the case of Beijing, China'.

“…Furthermore, Zhao et al [15] argue that the phenomenon that occurred in Chinese territories fails to acknowledge that an important cause is a result of changes in administrative divisions since the 1980s. Of the 20 fastest-growing cities in the world, 7 of them are located in China (Figure 3), with Shanghai, Chongqing, and Beijing as the three top cities with the highest rates in that country [13].…”

One of the key challenges of developing countries is to tackle the mitigation of the impacts of rapid and uncontrolled urbanization. Assessing this phenomenon is crucial to lessen the consequences for the environment and society. ‘Literature has been concentrated in planning strategies for the cities’ adaptation and engagements to the principles of green development ensuring a long-term quality of life for their citizens. Hereby, smart technologies and applications consist of two of the most encouraging concepts for solutions for achieving the 2030 and 2050 horizon targets towards clean energy transition and carbon neutrality. In academia, scholars have already raised the importance of ‘smartness’ to define the adaptative patterns for the global pressures of climate change and uncontrolled urban growth. The mitigation of these phenomena is crucial to ensure the cities’ future and lessen their impacts. This study seeks a strategic and smart-driven vision to leverage smartness on the phenomenon of rapid urbanization that occurred in the case of Beijing, China. Defining and evaluating the environmental impacts in line with the RIAM approach as one of its main targets. Future works can be focused on addressing solutions in similar cases in further developing countries to not only overcome environmental, but also economic, social, and digital complications.

“…The significant reduction in death rates can largely be attributed to concerted efforts on behalf of the government to provide widespread access to public health services; particularly for those in hard to reach areas. Examples of this can be seen in a number of state-sponsored initiatives: targeted poverty reduction and food redistribution programs, increased access to public healthcare and immunization, wider accessibility of medical provision through barefoot doctors, and education and information outreach programs (Riley 2004;Feng 2011;Zhao, Chen, and Jin 2016). On the other hand, periods of political instability have at times reversed such trends.…”

Having gone from 11.8% of its population inhabiting urban areas in 1950 to 49.2% by 2010, China represents the most dramatic urban transformation the world has seen. With the contemporary urban narrative presenting new challenges, particularly in terms of its unprecedented pace and scale, this paper conducts an inquiry into the nature and causes of China's rapid urban ascent. Making use of a new analytical framework, this paper maps out the changing stages of China's urban transition and examines the components of urban growth underpinning it. It arrives at several notable findings. Rural to urban migration has been the dominant component of urban growth, followed by urban natural population increase and reclassification. Although China's urban growth rates were high, it is the reduction in rural growth rates that underpinned China's particularly rapid urbanization rates. China is currently in the latter part of the accelerated stage of its urban transition, and is expected to enter the terminal stage by 2030. In light of China's ongoing urban transition, this paper concludes with reflections on China's New-Type Urbanization Plan 2014-2020.
