Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Neither derivatives of Western cities nor isolated from them, Chinese cities in the past four decades are perhaps best captured in their characteristic complexity through a concept in biological evolution: drift.

The consequences of these 'bottlenecks' of urban evolution are both fascinating and instructive: Chinese cities, when studied with this framework, begin to acquire an entirely different order of significance, injecting urban theory and practice with fresh vigor and insights.

Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
