Now an established global force, China has experienced a sustained
period of staggering economic growth since policy reform in the
1970s. Chinese urbanisation is the most significant example of
economic, environmental and social change both within China and
globally. In recent years, central government has made a concerted
effort to encourage city governments to realign their priorities
and achieve a balance between economic efficiency, social justice
and environmental protection. Chinese Urban Transformation: A Tale
of Six Cities is a fascinating exploration of the dramatic
development Chinese cities have undergone. Tracing this
transformation through a comprehensive analysis of social and
economic change in six cities, it unravels the complex relationship
between policy, outlook and role that urban development plays in
China's view of itself, including the tensions resulting from rapid
social and economic change. Grounded in current Chinese planning
and both classical and recent discussions on the city and urban
spaces, this book is essential for architects, planners, urban
designers and engineers with an interest in working in, learning
about, or trying to break into Chinese urban planning and social
policy.
"For a million bucks, would you marry a complete stranger?" Andrea
Lindholm has been at the altar before-alone. Two years ago, her
fiance failed to show up on the day of their wedding, forever
changing her outlook on marriage. Now she's being offered enough
money to solve her financial woes in exchange for acting as proxy
for another woman-Andrea's double-in her marriage to handsome and
rich Blake Thomas. All Andrea has to do is play the part of the
bride in the wedding and then share a two-week honeymoon in Hawaii
with Blake. Old fears of being jilted resurface as the wedding day
approaches. But after she meets the dashing groom, her ability to
distance herself from the job becomes more challenging every day.
Will Andrea be able to cash out of this arrangement with her heart
intact when Blake's new wife claims her place at his side?
