描述 | .This book offers a new perspective on Chinese urban historyby exploring cities as habitable spaces. China, the world’s most populousnation, is now its newest urban society, and the pace of this unprecedentedhistorical transformation has increased in recent decades. The contributors tothis book conceptualise cities as first providing the necessities of life,and then becoming places in which the quality of life can be improved. They focuson how cities have been made secure during times of instability, how theirinhabitants have consumed everything from the simplest of foods to the mostexpensive luxuries, and how they have been planned as ideal spaces. Drawingexamples from across the country, this book offers comparisons betweendifferent cities, highlights continuities across time and space—and in doingso may provide solutions to some of the problems that continue to affectChinese cities today.. |
