The City In China cover

In 1915 Robert Park penned his seminal paper “The City: Suggestions for the investigation of human behaviour in the city environment”. This book gathers together reflections from a diverse range of urban China specialists to consider its relevance today, actively engaging with the challenge of conceptualising urban China and asking important questions about the development of the contemporary city.

“Reflects upon the amazing urbanization processes experienced in the `new’ new world of China and the limits of applying Western theory to Chinese experiences. A very timely volume of studies on Chinese urban development grounded in a broad literature and brought together by highly qualified scholars.” Sako Musterd, University of Amsterdam
