Journal Article
Creating an Urban Middle Class: Social Engineering in Beijing
2004
Overview
This article addresses the issue of Chinese state engineering of an urban middle class in Beijing. Its major argument is that urban dwellers with closer ties to the public sector & better access to traditional forms of welfare have benefited comparatively more than other groups from the redistribution & privatization of public assets & from policies to improve consumption in urban areas. The author investigates in particular the impact of urban housing reform on this process of polarization, the increasing residential segregation of the professional middle class & the effects of this process on neighborhood politics, the emergence of self-conscious communities of interests, & the self-organization of autonomous activist groups. Adapted from the source document.
