Abstract

Due to special geographical and political factors, cities in Tibet developed pretty slowly before 1950s. The living environment was bad, while the improvement of human settlements was neglected for a long period time. After the peaceful liberation, the Central Committee began to strengthen city construction of Tibet in all aspects. From three aspects of transportation, environmental sanitation and medical treatment, this paper describes the status of urban development in Tibet before 80s, and discusses the positive impacts of living environment improvement in various cities and regions of Tibet. The construction of good living environment plays a vital role in the development of cities in Tibet.
