Document Summary

All supply chains rely on other supply chains in order to function: this entails a globalized production and transportation network whose reason for being is the production, transportation, and storage of materials made ready for immediate use. Urban construction land is one of the most valuable commodities in modern china, and the building of new cities, districts, hi-tech zones, logistics centers, and infrastructure is what keeps the fiscal wheels of this country"s local municipalities spinning. In this climate, running out of new development land can be akin to a financial travesty, but this is exactly what happened in lanzhou a city hemmed in by mountains.
