Abstract
Hangzhou is a major Chinese city located at the centre of a prospering urban region in Zhejiang province, part of the rich Yangtze delta region. The municipality covers 16,596 km 2 and has over six million residents with an estimated annual population growth of about 100,000 (HSS 2010). Urban growth takes place not only in the peri-urban area but in the urban core itself, which is still significantly expanding, while former rural farmland faces transition into the peri-urban area.
