Campanella examines the driving forces behind China's urban revolution and traces both the historical precedents and increasingly globalized flow of ideas, trends, and information that have combined to create a brave new Chinese cityscape. He provides a critical overview of Chinese urban development in light of both China's past and previous experiences of rapid urbanization elsewhere in the world - especially that of the United States, a nation that itself once set global records for the speed and scale of its urban ambitions."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
