This book offers a unique contribution to the burgeoning field of
Chinese historical geography. Urban transformation in China
constitutes both a domestic revolution and a world-historical
event. Through the exploration of nine urban sites of momentous
change, over an extended period of time, this book connects the
past with the present, and provides much-needed literature on city
growth and how they became complex laboratories of prosperity. The
first part of this book puts Chinese urban changes into historical
perspective, and probes the relationship between nation and city,
focusing on Shanghai, Beijing and Changchun. Part two deals with
the relationship between history and modernity, concentrating on
Tunxi, a traditional trade center of tea, New Villages in Shanghai
and street names in Taipei and Shanghai. Part three showcases the
complexities of urban regeneration vis-a-vis heritage preservation
in cities such as Datong, Tianjin and Qingdao. This book offers an
innovative interdisciplinary and international perspective, which
will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese urban
studies, as well Chinese politics and society.
