It explores the early days of urban dwelling in China, progressing to an analysis of residential environments in the industrial age. It also examines China's modern and postmodern architecture, considered as derivative or lacking spiritual meaning or personality, and showcases how China's traditional culture underpins the emergence of China's modern cities. Focusing on the notion of "courtyard spirit" in China, it offers a study of the urban public squares central to Chinese society, and examines the disruption of the traditional Square model and the rise and growth of new architectural models. 410 0$aChina Connections,$x2662-7876 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aChina$xHistory 606 $aUrban History 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aHistory of China 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aChina$xHistory. 615 14$aUrban History. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aHistory of China. 676 $a301.0951 700 $aFu$b Chonglan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063283 702 $aCao$b Wenming$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350271403321 996 $aAn Urban History of China$92531389 997 $aUNINA
