This book offers a theoretical intervention into the normative
ideals of public space that are deeply rooted in Western urbanism.
It disrupts the binaries of presence/absence, inclusion/exclusion
by presenting a series of case studies that vividly convey the
complexity and vicissitude of grassroots spatial practices. It
engages powerfully with the question of what constitutes the "urban
public" in our everyday cities. Moreover, it provides a fresh
perspective on the proliferating scholarship on Chinese urbanism in
the reform era by seriously considering the ways in which ordinary
urban inhabitants respond to and negotiate the impacts of rapid
social change and the reshuffling of the systems of values and
ideologies. The urban public, therefore, is analyzed as an
important field in which identities and cultural differences are
formed and performed. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone
interested in theories of urban public space in general or urban
transformation of post-reform China in particular.
