Urbanisation and urban development are the focus of this
comprehensive account which introduces readers to the far-reaching
changes now taking place in Chinese cities. New and established
scholars from the fields of geography, sociology and urban
planning, including Chinese social scientists, contribute chapters
on the development of Chinese cities up to the turn of the
twenty-first century. All their work reflects the most recent
scholarship.
The book's original approach links the visible changes in urban
life to changes in the larger political economy of China.
Conversely, broad concepts that are central to understanding the
country's re-emergence on the world stage, such as the transition
from socialism, market reform, and globalization, are made tangible
in their effects on people's daily lives in Chinese cities and in
detailed examination of how these cities have developed. Case
materials are drawn from all China's major cities, but particular
attention is paid to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
