Global Shanghai remade : the rise of Pudong New Area

Hu, Richard, author, Chen, Weijie, 1972- author

Overview

\"Examining the rise of Pudong and its role in re-creating Shanghai as a global city, Global Shanghai Remade utilises this important case study to shed light on contemporary globalisation and China's integration with the world since the late 20th century. Unpacking the rise of Pudong in the context of Deng Xiaoping's nation-building agenda, this book explores the development of the district from its earliest planning into a global city centre through multiple perspectives. In doing so, it explores the role of key decision-makers and actors, the strategic planning process, the approaches to urban development, and some of the iconic projects that define the rise of Pudong, Shanghai, and China itself. A timely volume for the 30th anniversary of China's strategy of 'developing and opening Pudong,' it combines the analyses and findings from these perspectives into a framework for a broader understanding of city-making with Chinese characteristics. The first study of its kind, providing a comprehensive and systematic examination of Pudong, this book will be useful for students and scholars of urban planning and design, as well as Chinese Studies and Development Studies more generally\"-- Provided by publisher.
