In recent decades, China has undergone an extraordinary
transformation from an overwhelmingly rural population to that of a
predominantly urban one. This major new Handbook examines and
explores the key features and implications of this urbanising
process from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Using three
overarching themes - progress and enhancement, dislocation and
tension, and the unique features of Chinese urban development -
leading experts in the field provide a contemporary analysis of
critical issues affecting China today. This includes the nature of
urban change, governance and migration, and how this has impacted
the politics, culture, economy and environment. Unprecedented in
depth and breadth, contributors both from within mainland China and
across the globe offer varied analyses and perspectives of
continuity and reform in policies that allow China to continue to
evolve. Sections also cover individuality, the urban-rural
interface and possible future policy directions, with crucial
discussion about continuing urbanisation in an increasingly
interconnected world. Essential reading for academics and students
of urban and Chinese studies, this Handbook provides a timely and
much needed reference work for those who want to better understand
China's urbanisation experiences. Contributors include: A.-M.
