<br/><br/> Deciphering the shape of the Chinese city This urban studies textbook is not primarily concerned with well-known cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen, but rather with the forms, structures, symbols, and messages that define the Chinese character of the Chinese city. Only by decoding the essence of the Chinese city can we properly weigh and meaningfully categorize the diversity of empirical impressions. Thus, this book also provides a key to understanding current hyperurbanization and the multitude of Western urban development projects in China. Coherent urban language relating directly to China's rising political and economic power.
