Rezensionen

"A valuable and timely addition to the expanding Chinese citystudies." Kam Wing Chan, University of Washington

"During the past two decades urban China has undergone aremarkable transformation as the old system of central planning hasgiven way to domestic and international market forces. Aonce-distinctive model of urbanism is being replaced by somethingentirely new. Logan and his collaborators provide a highlydisciplined, coherent, state of the art examination of thesechanges through detailed studies of migration, housing reform,community change and other vital topics." Andrew Walder,Stanford University

"This book is a timely and valuable contribution to ourunderstanding of changing China and the urban developmentalprocess." Yehua Dennis Wei, University ofWisconsin-Milwaukee
