"This book examines the impact of globalisation on Chinese cities, including the economic, cultural and political impact, and demonstrates the importance of the local dimension in the globalisation process, arguing that hitherto studies of globalisation have overemphasised Western cities and the idea of "the global city". The book contrasts the dynamics of the socialist city with the post-reform city and new dynamics. It examines the reach and limit of globalisation, presents case studies of China's leading global cities, and assesses the urban political and economic implications."--Publisher description.
