Through the lens of the city of Suzhou, this edited volume presents
views on the complex interaction between the central state, market
agents, local governments and individuals who have shaped the
development of Chinese cities and urban life. Featuring a range of
disciplinary perspectives, contributors to this volume have all
undertaken research in one municipality - Suzhou - to consider how
history and culture have evolved during the modernisation of
Chinese cities and the transformation of urban space, as well as
shifting rural-urban relations and urban life during the reform
era. The volume is underscored by a complex dynamic system
consisting of three interlocked mechanisms through which the
central and local state interact: history and culture, social and
economic life, and administration and governance. As such, chapters
analyse responses both from the state and society as driving forces
of local development, with an interplay between tradition and
heritage on the one hand and China's economic and social
development on the other. Suzhou in Transition will appeal to
students and scholars of Chinese and urban studies, as well as
urban sociology and geography.
