title = "Case studies on the barriers to small towns development {\"u}{\"u} a perspective of southwest China",
abstract = "The urbanization process in China has brought enormous economic improvement. However, it appears that the development of small towns is severely lagged behind, this is particularly the case in Southwest China. This paper examines the barriers to the development of small towns in Southwest China. 12 major barriers are examined and analyzed in this study. 17 case townships are selected from four provinces in Southwest China for conducting field surveys, which include interview discussions, on site visits and document collections. And each barrier is discussed in depth combining with the practical cases extracted from field surveys. The findings from this study provide valuable reference in searching for effective approaches for promoting the development of small towns and contributing to a balanced urban-rural development in China.",
