The heart of Urbanization in Early and Medieval China consists of
translations of three gazetteers written during the Han (206
BCE-220 CE), Tang (618-907), and Northern Song (960-1126) dynasties
describing the city of Suzhou. The texts allow the reader to trace
the dramatic changes that occurred as the city experienced enormous
political and social upheavals over nine centuries. Each
translation is accompanied by extensive annotation and a detailed
discussion of the historical background of the text, authorship,
and publication history. The book also traces the development of
the gazetteer genre, the history of urban planning in China, and
what we know about the early development of Suzhou from other texts
and archaeological research. Urbanization in Early and Medieval
China will be useful not only to scholars of Chinese history, but
to scholars studying architecture and urban planning as well.
