From Bloomberg:
What would Beijing be like with more than twice as many people? … Trouble is, the
metropolis remains a magnet. The population – 2.5 times New York’s – surged 53 percent
from 2000 to December 2013, the equivalent of adding all the residents of Los Angeles,
Chicago and Detroit. … “If you look at large cities around the world, no city has
a policy of saying ‘OK we have a size cap,’” says Wang Feng, a professor of sociology
at the University of California, Irvine, and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution
in Washington.
