The latest virtual issue on Chinese cities, with an introduction by Fulong Wu, is now available here. All articles included in this Virtual Issue will be free to view for one year.
In the last three decades Chinese cities have experienced phenomenal changes. This virtual issue draws from an extensive pool of articles published in IJURR to illustrate some aspects of this transformation. It is a very challenging task to select just a few articles because all have their merits and contribute to our understanding in one way or another. The 18 articles in this virtual issue have been chosen because they are illustrative of nine broad themes: urban redevelopment, communities and place-making, urban villages and informal housing, regional development, regional governance, land development, housing inequalities, inequalities and urban poverty, urban space and spatial change. Some ‘classic’ articles have been inevitably missed out but readers can easily source them from the references in the articles listed here.
The virtual issue begins with thinking about Chinese cities from a comparative perspective. For example, can the theories developed in other countries be applied to Chinese cities? What is the significance of ‘place’ in urban development? These topics are linked with other cities in the world. The themes of urban redevelopment and place making are traced back to earlier studies on urban restructuring as a new mechanism of development and the importance of community development.
