With cities often being built from scratch in a matter of a few years, it is projected that four hundred new cities will be built in China over the next 20years—with newly urbanised populations of over 240 million. New Urban China examines the exploding phenomenon of the Chinese city from the perspective of internationally acclaimed critics, architects, and academics. Covering such themes as the village-in-the-city phenomenon, the post-Olympic future, and China's impact on global urbanism, the book sheds light on the lesser-known work of urban planners and architects working in China today.
