Globalization and the Chinese City

Introducing readers to the far-reaching global orientation that is now taking place in urban China, an international team of contributors examine the impact of globalization on Chinese cities, including the economic, cultural and political impact.

Introducing readers to the far-reaching global orientation that is now taking place in urban China, an 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 analyzed 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 perceived ''East versus West'' divide.
