PLURALIZE is a 5-year research project funded by the EPSRC (originally awarded through the ERC) that aims to identify principles and practices of just transitions that can be applied in China. The project is led by Linda Westman, in collaboration with project manager Vicky Simpson and postdoctoral researchers Zhang Shizhi and Huang Zhengli – .
Moving into its third year, the project will move into a phase of field work focused on just transitions in urban China. This will take place alongside analysis of the characteristics and global distribution of Chinese bilateral aid into urban areas in different parts of the world.
