Einleitung
Megastädte in China befinden sich im Wandel, geprägt durch rasantes ökonomisches und Bevölkerungswachstum. Die Regier- und Steuerbarkeit sind beeinträchtigt und infrastrukturelle Maßnahmen, z.B. zum Schutz der Umwelt, können nicht in gleichem Maße mithalten. Umweltverschmutzung mit substantiellen Gesundheitsgefährdungen ist die Folge. Gesetze/Bestimmungen zum Umweltschutz sollten auf allen Ebenen (Zentralregierung bis Stadteilebene) umgesetzt werden, um die Stadtgesundheit zu verbessern.
Summary
Chinese megacities pass through rapid change, coined by fast economical and population growth. This leads to impaired governability and the necessary infrastructural measures, to protect the environment, cannot keep up with this developments. This results in substantial health threatening pollution. Existing laws and regulations should be implemented of all governmental levels from the central government down to the city sub-district level to improve urban health.
