The boom, bust and future of China's real estate sector

While China’s property market has been a key driver of its
economy, concerns around the sustainability of the sector have
circulated for many years. In this episode of the Sound of
Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro and Alicia Garcia-Herrero invite
Yunpeng Zhang, Lecturer and Assistant Professor from University
College Dublin, to discuss the country’s urban development, the
misalignments of interests between local and central government
and its impact on China’s economy as well as the society.

This episode is part of the ZhōngHuá Mundus series of The Sound
of Economics.
