The case studies [ PDF: 2,183kb | 96 pages ] show that, over time, more attention was paid to resettlement in ADB's projects in China, and compliance with ADB's policy has been improving. Nevertheless, also in China, strict compliance with ADB's policy has been variable. Satisfaction levels with the resettlement process were nevertheless high. The study includes many photos.
