This volume investigates the mechanisms driving China's rapid urban transformation and the emergence of new urban forms within a shifting socio-economic landscape. Edited by Fulong Wu, the text compiles research from various scholars to analyze how institutional changes, land property rights, and global capital flows intersect to reshape Chinese cities. The contributors utilize case studies from major metropolitan areas to argue that China's urban development is not merely a product of state planning but a complex negotiation between local governance, private investment, and social stratification.
