Urbanization of rural areas of western China is one of the main goals of the current development strategy of the state and serves at the same time as an indicator to measure the dimension of development reached already in China’s western provinces. After the period of enlargement of infrastructure, i.e. building transportation and energy supply networks, finally the industrial and urban centers could expand. The intensive urbanization does not concern solely the extension of already existing towns and cities in China’s West, it implies also a large constructions of new urban spots in areas previously dominated by fields and pastureland. The extreme scale of urbanization in terms of speed and quantity exerts far reaching influence to the local landscapes and population in affected areas.
