Between 1988 and 2013, the Chinese city of Zouping transformed from
an impoverished town of 30,000 people to a bustling city of over
300,000, complete with factories, high rises, parks, shopping
malls, and all the infrastructure of a wealthy East Asian city.
From Village to City paints a vivid portrait of the rapid changes
in Zouping and its environs and in the lives of the once-rural
people who live there. Despite the benefits of modernization and an
improved standard of living for many of its residents, Zouping is
far from a utopia; its inhabitants face new challenges and problems
such as alienation, class formation and exclusion, and pollution.
As he explores the city's transformation, Andrew B. Kipnis develops
a new theory of urbanization in this compelling portrayal of an
emerging metropolis and its people.
