In 2003 he joined the University of Reading, where his distinguished academic contributions to the geographies of development and urban geography were recognised in 2007 with the higher award of Doctor of Science (DSc).
For every successful megaproject, there are dozens that have failed to launch, left as paper remains, imaginary geographies of development and enterprise.
Understanding the domestic components of GVCs is especially important for larger economies such as China, the USA, India, and Japan, where there may be large variations in economic scale, geography of manufacturing, and development stages at the domestic regional level.
The CHNS was designed to represent a set of large provinces with significant variation in terms of geography, economic development, and health status, covering approximately 56% of China's population, including Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, and Guizhou.
"There are some who see it as fuelling violence and destructive politics," said Craig Jeffrey, professor of development geography at Oxford University, an expert on India's unemployed youth.
We believe, however, that the countries included represent a wide range of experiences, both in terms of geography and initial levels of development.
For each round, a stratified multistage, random cluster process was employed to draw study sample from each of the nine provinces (Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, and Guizhou), covering approximately 56% of China's population, that vary significantly in terms of geography, economic development, and health status.

The investigators concluded that the host age/stage of development and geography served as primary determinants of the gut microbiome [ 6].
