Though China's urban history reaches back over five thousand years, it is only in the last quarter century that urbanization has emerged as a force of widespread social transformation while a massive population shift from country to city has brought about a dramatic revolution in China's culture, politics, and economy. Employing a historical perspective, John Friedmann presents a succinct, readable account and interpretation of how this transition - one of the most momentous phenomena in contemporary history - has occurred. China's Urban Transition synthesizes a broad array of research to provide the first integrated treatment of the many processes that encompass the multi-layered meaning of urbanization: regional policy, the upsurge of rural industries, migration, expanding spheres of personal autonomy, and the governance of city building. John Friedmann's detailed analysis suggests that the nation's economic development has been driven more by social forces from within than by global capital. This leads directly to the epic story of rural migration to major urban regions, the policies used to restrain and direct this "avalanche" of humanity on the move, and the return of many migrants to their home communities, where the process of urbanization continues. Focusing on everyday life in cities, he also shows how this social transformation extends to the most intimate spheres of people's lives. In conclusion, the author raises the question of a "sustainable" urban development and its relation with China's own past, values, and institutions. Friedmann predicts that within ten years China - already the most powerful country in East Asia - will have become a major power in the world. With historical depth, interpretive insight, and interdisciplinary breadth, this book offers an unparalleled introduction to China's transformation.

個人認為,本書的動人之處在於,作者敏銳的將中國城鎮化進程中城市內的社會關係演化和城市治理模式放入瞭中國漫長的曆史長河中,接續瞭當代中國和封建時代的發展聯係,因此提齣瞭更加“得體”的城市發展進程判斷。這與很多學者期望藉鑒(或者說照搬)西方治理經驗,自上而下的...

評分didn't finished. detailed based on one of his paper
評分記住瞭in-situ urbanisation 和boxes within boxes,但是感覺還是沒把握為什麼作者說自己的論述與grand narration不一樣,也不是很清楚作者想錶達的曆史和現實的關係是怎樣的。Nevertheless,內容還是很精煉很好抓,隻是在今天看起來有的內容似乎不是什麼新鮮事瞭
