Sommario/riassunto

This book aims to provide a scholarly account of recent understandings and reflections on some of the prevalent and emerging issues in urban



and regional China, such as urbanization, inequality, hukou (household registration) reforms, labor relations, not-in-my-backyard protests, and environmental governance. Presenting rich data analysis and case studies, these book chapters together utilize multidisciplinary approaches and contribute to the empirical and theoretical literature in development studies.
