This book offers a new perspective on Chinese urban history by
exploring cities as habitable spaces. China, the world's most
populous nation, is now its newest urban society, and the pace of
this unprecedented historical transformation has increased in
recent decades. The contributors to this book conceptualise cities
as first providing the necessities of life, and then becoming
places in which the quality of life can be improved. They focus on
how cities have been made secure during times of instability, how
their inhabitants have consumed everything from the simplest of
foods to the most expensive luxuries, and how they have been
planned as ideal spaces. Drawing examples from across the country,
this book offers comparisons between different cities, highlights
continuities across time and space-and in doing so may provide
solutions to some of the problems that continue to affect Chinese
cities today.
