Produktbeskrivning

This book teaches us to read the contemporary Chinese city. Li Shiqiao deftly crafts a new theory of the Chinese city and the dynamics of urbanization by:     

  • exploring the rise of stories of labour, finance and their hierarchies
  • examining how the Chinese city has been shaped by the figuration of the writing system
  • analyzing the continuing importance of the family and its barriers of protection against real and imagined dangers
  • demonstrating how actual structures bring into visual being the networks of safety in personal and family networks.

Understanding the Chinese City elegantly traces a thread between ancient Chinese city formations and current urban organizations, revealing hidden continuities that show how instrumental the past has been in forming the present. Rather than becoming obstacles to change, ancient practices have become effective strategies of adaptation under radically new terms.
