As China is transformed, relations between society, the state, and the city have become central.The Great Urban Transformation investigates what is happening in cities, the urban edges, and the rural fringe in order to explain these relations.In the inner city of major metropolitan centers, municipal governments battle high-ranking state agencies to secure land rents from redevelopment projects, while residents mobilize to assert property and residentialrights.At the urban edge, as metropolitan governments seek to extend control over their rural hinterland through massive-scale development projects, villagers strategize to profit from the encroaching property market.At the rural fringe, township leaders become brokers of power and property between the statebureaucracy and villages, while large numbers of peasants are dispossessed, dispersed, and deterritorialized, and their mobilizational capacity is consequently undermined. The Great Urban Transformation explores these issues, and provides an integrated analysis of the city and the countryside, elite politics and grassroots activism, legal-economic and socio-political issues of property rights, and the role of the state and the market in the property market.; PDF; Reference & Languages > Society & culture: general > Social groups > Urban communities, OUP Oxford<
