Simulating Global Mobility at Shenzhen "International" Airport -- Conclusion: Learning from Shenzhen -- A Shenzen Glossary -- Contributors -- Acknowledgments -- IndexThis multidisciplinary volume, the first of its kind, presents an account of China's contemporary transformation via one of its most important yet overlooked cities: Shenzhen, located just north of Hong Kong. In recent decades, Shenzhen has transformed from an experimental site for economic reform into a dominant city at the crossroads of the global economy. The first of China's special economic zones, Shenzhen is today a UNESCO City of Design and the hub of China's emerging technology industries. Bringing China studies into dialogue with urban studies, the contributors explore how the post-Mao Chinese appropriation of capitalist logic led to a dramatic remodeling of the Chinese city and collective life in China today. These essays show how urban villages and informal institutions enabled social transformation through cases of public health, labor, architecture, gender, politics, education, and more. Offering scholars and general readers alike an unprecedented look at one of the world's most dynamic metropolises, this collective history uses the urban case study to explore critical problems and possibilities relevant for modern-day China and beyond.Urban renewalChinaShenzhen ShiCongressesFree ports and zonesChinaCongressesMunicipal governmentChinaShenzhen ShiCongressesShenzhen Shi (China)CongressesShenzhen Jingji Tequ (Shenzhen Shi, China)CongressesChina.Post-socialism.Shenzhen.space.urban planning.urban villages.Urban renewalFree ports and zonesMunicipal government307.3/416095127LB 72440rvkBach JonathanO'Donnell Mary AnnWong WinnieDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910159026503321Learning from Shenzhen2068370UNINA
