This edited volume covers the multiple changes concerning urban
governance in the course of the progressive transformation of the
Pearl River Delta mega-urban region in China. Looking at the
megacities Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it analyzes the maturing of
socio-economic, political and spatial structures after the first
waves of economic globalization, political transformation, and
their rapid expansion and urbanization. The initial claim and
starting point of the book is the existence of a profound
multidimensional shift in the coastal mega-urban region with a
major tendency towards urban upgrading, economic restructuring and
a clearly observable consolidation of political institutions. For
the first time since the beginning of the reform and opening up
after 1978, this has led to a stronger bias toward urban
regeneration, an adaptive re-use of the building stock and an
establishment of post-industrial knowledge-based creative
industries. The book investigates these changes as a set of
mutually dependent developments that have to be understood and
analyzed in connection with one another. Thus, the backgrounds and
underlying forces that shape physical restructuring in the
developed urban cores of the mega-urban region and the ways in
which the relevant actors and institutions are trying to both cope
with and to influence each other are introduced here.
