Description

Urban China: A Critical Account of Chinese Urbanization This concise and engaging book examines the past trajectories, present conditions, and future prospects of Chinese urbanization. Ren investigates five key themes - governance, migration, landscape, inequality, and cultural economy - to offer a critical account of the Chinese urban condition after the first decade of the twenty-first century. Ren argues that traditional approaches to understanding urbanization are no longer relevant, as Chinese cities have become strategic sites for reassembling citizenship rights. By exploring these themes, the book provides valuable insights into the complex relationships between state, capitalism, and urbanization in the global context. Essential reading for students and scholars of urban and development studies with a focus on China, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of contemporary Chinese society.
