Book Description

In 1915 Robert Park penned his seminal paper “The City:Suggestions for the investigation of human behaviour in the city environment”. This book gathers together reflections from a diverse range of urban China specialists to consider its relevance today, actively engaging with the challenge of conceptualising urban China and asking important questions about the development of the contemporary city.
