What is Urban China in Transition (Studies in Urban and Social Change) about?
<p><P>China is rapidly becoming a world power. No longer a developing country, China’s cities are undergoing transformations of historic proportions. This book, in the <i>Studies in Urban and Social Change</i> series, evaluates these multi-dimensional changes. With input from professionals in a variety of fields, including Sociology, Geography, Economics, Demography, Planning, Architecture, and Anthropology, <i>Urban China in Transition</i> analyzes Chinese trends in diverse topics including:<P><ul><P><li>Migration<P><li>Crime<P><li>Gated Communities<P><li>Neighborhood Associations<P><li>Suburbanization<P><li>Women’s status<P></ul> <P>Chapters are co-authored by experts on urban Chinese life together with others whose expertise is on the particular topic. Comparisons to urban areas in the United States, Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America pose thoughtful questions about the possible trajectory of Chinese urban development, while underscoring its uniqueness. The result is a broad theoretical and historical perspective that sharply focuses the Chinese experience through alternative prisms, thus enriching theoretical discussion and debate.</p>
