Mass Incidents Push Government to Curb Environmental Pollution in China’s Urbanization

Abstract:

Cities in China have developed rapidly since economic reform. Meanwhile, mass incidents have happened more frequently. The annual growth rate of mass incidents has exceeded that rate of urban population growth and mass incidents have become a serious threaten to further urbanization in China. We first analyse the reason of rapid growth number of mass incidents, then point out that job supplement will trigger severer mass incidents and the development mode of sacrificing environment for economic growth will incur more mass incidents, both of which will be obstacles for China’s urbanization. Therefore we suggest that Chinese government should implement institution reform to overcome these obstacles.
