Resettlement in the Three Gorges Project - Tapa dura

"The first book published outside China on the early stages of the Three Gorges resettlement this will have both policy and theoretical importance for planners of large infrastructure projects and for academics interested in the contentious social, environmental and resettlement issues associated with development." - Thayer Scudder, Anthropology Professor Emeritus, California Institute of Technology, author of: The Future of Large Dams"

The construction of the Three Gorges dam and corresponding relocation of people are among the socio-economic transformations that have profoundly influenced all aspects of urban and rural life in China. The resettlement issue associated with the Three Gorges project (TGP) has been regarded as a huge problem for China, involving 17 years of relocation of over 1.3 million people by 2009.
