China's Spatial Economic Development: Regional Transformation in the Lower Yangzi Delta (Routledge Studies on China in Transition)

The spatial patterns of China's rapid economic transformation fundamentally challenge conventional geographies of urban and regional development. This book provides a theoretically informed case study of the local character of regional change in China's lower Yangzi Delta, as well as a new analytical framework for understanding China's unique form of economic modernization.
