This book provides a comprehensive account of the global, regional and urban dimensions of China's development, and the resulting socio-economic and political outcomes. Shin begins by documenting and analysing China's changing position in the world economy before turning to the development challenges that urban China faces such as social and geographical disparities, civil society and rights and, in particular, China's uneven urban and regional development. Each chapter will provide an overview of the key issues and associated debates, supported by reference materials, tables and case studies. End of chapter summaries will highlight key themes, discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. This book will be suitable for use on upper lever undergraduate and postgraduate courses on China's development, Chinese geography and urban China, as well as related courses in geography, sociology, urban planning, anthropology, urban studies, international development, area studies, policy studies and political science. | Making China Urban by Hyun Bang Shin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
