Produktbeschreibung

After millions of migrants moved from the countryside into the cities in China, there was huge pressure to redevelop their enclaves. This emerging urbanism gave way to a new built environment through demolition and the development of new towns, the migrants lives entered a transient phase from an informal to a formal urbanity. This book looks at the migrants and their enclaves, known as the 'villages in the city'. Through an examination of their neighbourhoods, it reveals the characteristics and changes in the migrants' livelihood and living places.
