Abstract
Rapid economic and demographic growth propelled the tiny coastal town of Shenzhen (close to Hong Kong) into one of the most dynamic and modern-looking cities in China. Because population movement in China has long been heavily regulated, one may be puzzled by the question of how migration could play any major role in fostering Shenzhen’s boom.
