| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Urbanisation is the inevitable outcome of world economic development and an unavoidable stage, as also an important factor, promoting and boosting economic development across the world. There are two objectives of this article-to reveal the specific features of Tibetan urbanisation as Tibet is located on 'the roof of the world' with its unique natural, historical and cultural features. The specific features of Tibetan urbanisation can be summarised as low urbanisation when compared to world urbanisation levels, a low starting point and a different background of urbanisation and little urbanisation motivation. The second purpose is to examine whether Mcgee's Desakota model has some relevance in terms of comprehending Tibetan rural urbanisation |
