Mit ihrem schnellen Wachstum unterliegen die Städte Chinas einem hohen Entwicklungsdruck. Sie müssen sich anpassen und verwandeln, doch auf welchen Grundlagen und mit welchen Zielen?
Das Buch zeichnet die Transformationsprozesse nach, die seit drei Jahrzehnten in etwa 25 Nachbarschaften der Großstädte Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen und Suzhou ablaufen. Die Beispiele reichen von zentralen Wohnvierteln bis hin zu städtischen Randlagen, und ihre Darstellung erstreckt sich von der städtebaulichen Planung bis hin zu Untersuchungen der Bewohnerzufriedenheit.
Diese vertiefte Analyse urbaner Umgebungen schließt an das frühere Buch von Peter Rowe an, der mit Emergent Architectural Territories in East Asian Cities seinem Ruf als einem der weltbesten Kenner der Städte in Fernost gerecht wurde.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
