This multidisciplinary volume, the first of its kind, presents an
account of China's contemporary transformation via one of its most
important yet overlooked cities: Shenzhen, located just north of
Hong Kong. In recent decades, Shenzhen has transformed from an
experimental site for economic reform into a dominant city at the
crossroads of the global economy. The first of China's special
economic zones, Shenzhen is today a UNESCO City of Design and the
hub of China's emerging technology industries. Bringing China
studies into dialogue with urban studies, the contributors explore
how the post-Mao Chinese appropriation of capitalist logic led to a
dramatic remodeling of the Chinese city and collective life in
China today. These essays show how urban villages and informal
institutions enabled social transformation through cases of public
health, labor, architecture, gender, politics, education, and more.
Offering scholars and general readers alike an unprecedented look
at one of the world's most dynamic metropolises, this collective
history uses the urban case study to explore critical problems and
possibilities relevant for modern-day China and beyond.
