This book analyzes the recent growth of Guangzhou, Shenzhen,
Fuzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Hong Kong, seven major
Chinese coastal cities. The authors detail theoretical mechanisms,
spatial and non-spatial models of development, all while exploring
possible directions to sustainability. They also look at how these
cities have developed over the last 30 years, from the late 1970s
to the 21st century. Each has its own unique background, regional
and national positions, advantages, and functions. Using
diversified approaches and measurements for each city, the authors
argue that structural changes are necessary to achieve much needed
sustainable development. The book covers developmental issues such
as the regaining of central city and global city statuses, the role
of governments in steering development, and achieving goals through
mega projects, urban competitiveness, positioning, and branding.
Including varied assessment and intense suggestions for structural
changes, this book addresses core concerns for the sustainable
growth of these metropolises. A valuable book for students,
researchers and policy makers.
