Description
The Concrete Dragon: China's Urban Revolution and What it Means for the World sheds light on this extraordinary chapter in world urban history. The book surveys the driving forces behind the great Chinese building boom, traces the historical precedents and global flows of ideas and information that are fusing to create a bold new Chinese cityscape, and considers the social and environmental impacts of China's urban future. The Concrete Dragon provides a critical overview of contemporary Chinese urbanisation in light of both China's past as well as earlier episodes of rapid urban development elsewhere in the worldespecially that of the United States, a nation that itself once set global records for the speed and scale of its urban ambitions.
