Shenzhen’s urban villages are some of the first of their kind in China,  unique in their diversity and organizational capacity, but most notably in  their ability to protect village culture whilst coexisting with Shenzhen, one  of the fastest urbanizing cities on earth. Providing a study of regional contrast  of urban villages in China with newly collected fieldwork materials from  Guangzhou, Beijing, and Xi’an, this book also considers recent developments  within urban villages, including attempts at marketization of the so-called  xiao chanquanfang (the quintessential urban village apartment units). It also  addresses the corruption scandals that engulfed some urban villages in late  2013. Through cutting edge fieldwork, the author offers a cross-disciplinary  study ofthe history, culture, socio-economic changes, and migration of the  villages which arguably embody Chinese social mobility in an urban form.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-10-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349700172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-50426-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 203\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752400056460,"sku":"9781349700172","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349700172.jpg?v=1776575874","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349700172","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
