In this accessible new study, Toby Lincoln offers the first history
of Chinese cities from their origins to the present. Despite being
an agricultural society for thousands of years, China had an
imperial urban civilization. Over the last century, this urban
civilization has been transformed into the world's largest modern
urban society. Throughout their long history, Chinese cities have
been shaped by interactions with those around the world, and the
story of urban China is a crucial part of the history of how the
world has become an urban society. Exploring the global connections
of Chinese cities, the urban system, urban governance, and daily
life alongside introductions to major historical debates and
extracts from primary sources, this is essential reading for all
those interested in China and in urban history.
