Opis

This book proposes an innovative new way to visualize the development of countries. The goal is to create a platform on which to redesign human activity to be balanced. The author argues that Chinas development is unbalanced, and to see the unbalance we must divide the concept of development into different categories representing its different aspects, such as economic, urban, social, and sustainable. By looking at the different characteristics of development through time, it is possible to see where the unbalance lies. Furthermore, we learn that by categorizing the nature of development, we can gain a more comprehensive insight into the development of individual countries. In conclusion, this book proposes the creation of a possible Development Index, as it can provide greater understanding of each countrys development.
