Introducing readers to the far-reaching global orientation that is
now taking place in urban China, an international team of
contributors describe overarching globalization through a detailed
examination of the transformation of the built environment. A range
of urban development processes are analyzed including urbanization,
real estate development, changing landscapes, the industrial
restructuring of the second-tier city, and the formation of the
city-region in the context of global and local interactions. In
examining city development and local practices as part of
globalization processes, the global city is treated as a collection
of microcosms and concrete places, overcoming the analytical
tension of the dichotomy of the perceived 'East versus West'
divide.
