Overview

"ENG: ""Currently there are more than 125 Chinese cities with a population exceeding one million. The unprecedented urban growth in China presents a crucial development for studies on globalization and urban transformation. This concise and engaging book examines the past trajectories, present conditions, and future prospects of Chinese urbanization, by investigating five key themes - governance, migration, landscape, inequality, and cultural economy. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of the literature and original research materials, Ren offers a critical account of the Chinese urban condition after the first decade of the twenty-first century. She argues that the urban-rural dichotomy that was artificially constructed under socialism is no longer a meaningful lens for analyses and that Chinese cities have become strategic sites for reassembling citizenship rights for both urban residents and rural migrants."" RUS: В современном Китае насчитывается более 125 городов с населением свыше миллиона человек. Беспрецедентный их рост представляет собой важнейшее явление для исследований глобализации и трансформации Китая. В этой книге на основе изучения пяти ключевых тем — управления, миграции, ландшафта, неравенства и культурной экономики — рассматривается прошлое, настоящее и будущее китайской урбанизации."
