Aspects of
Urbanization in China : Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou
(Edited by) Gregory Bracken
China's rise is one of
the transformative events of our time. Aspects of Urbanization in China:
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou examines some of the aspects of China's massive
wave of urbanization - the largest the world has ever seen. The various papers
in the book, written by academics from different disciplines, represent ongoing
research and exploration and give a useful snapshot in a rapidly developing
discourse. Their point of departure is the city - Shanghai, Hong Kong and
Guangzhou - where the downside of China's miraculous economic growth is most painfully
apparent. And it is concern for the citizens of these cities that unifies the
papers in a book whose authors seek to understand what life is like for the
people who call them home.
