Description
Cities in China are extremely dynamic and experience high pressure to grow, transform and adapt. But in what directions, on what basis and to which goals? The author and his team have researched the intensive transformation processes of about twenty-five neighborhood communities in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Suzhou, ranging from inner-city to peripheral areas, starting from planning and ending with user satisfaction studies.
