The Centre for China Urban and Regional Studies

Director's Welcome

Welcome to the Centre for China Urban and Regional Studies' Website! The Centre for China Urban and Regional Studies (CURS or the Centre), currently housed at the Department of Geography of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU or the University), was established on 1 July 2001.

CURS was founded with a major donation from Heung To Educational Fund secured by Professor C F Ng, former President and Vice Chancellor of the University. CURS aims at conducting high quality research and cultivating academic exchange on China’s urban and regional developmental issues.

Research fellows of CURS include faculty members of the University from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds who share a common interest in urban and regional research on China. It is the objective of CURS to enhance the University’s status as an academic hub for the study of China’s cities and regions.
