Reviews

Most studies adopt a macroscopic perspective of political and economic changes. Gated Communities in China is a rare exception and thus an important and timely contribution to the understanding of residential development, especially 'commodity housing enclaves', in China [...] I admire Pow's cultural sensitivity, keen and detailed observations, and grounded approach [...] Pow's Gated Communities in China is a truly substantive and noteworthy addition to the literature on Chinese housing development and social changes and I enthusiastically recommend this book to researchers in gated communities and Chinese urban studies. - Fulong Wu, Environment and Planning A 2010, volume 42
