Globalization and the Chinese City

Herausgeber: Wu, Fulong

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Introducing readers to the far-reaching global orientation that is now taking place in urban China, the international team of contributors describe overarching globalization through a detailed examination of the transformation of the built environment. A range of urban development processes are analysed including urbanization, real estate development, changing landscapes, the industrial restructuring of the second-tier city, and the formation of the city-region in the context of global and local interactions. In examining city development and local practices as part of globalization processes, the global city is treated as a collection of microcosms and concrete places, overcoming the analytical tension of the dichotomy of the East versus West.
