胡鹏飞

Hu Pengfei is an author about whom relatively limited public information is available. His published works focus mainly on rural construction and rural development. Three of his books are included in the collection, all belonging to the series “Building the Countryside to Look More Like the Countryside,” including an overview volume and two case-study volumes on Gaoyi Village and Jinshan Village, which form part of the Chinese Rural Construction Series. His writing stays close to the real circumstances of Chinese villages, addressing village planning, environmental improvement, and the protection of local rural character. It stresses preserving the texture and distinctiveness of the countryside while improving living conditions, rather than simply copying urban models. His works are usually classified under social sciences and architecture, and are mainly read by practitioners and researchers concerned with rural construction, offering useful reference on these issues.
