Summary:Cities in China are extremely dynamic and experience high pressure to grow, transform and adapt. But in what directions, on what basis and to which goals? The authors and their team have researched the intensive transformation processes of about twenty-five neighborhood communities that were created in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Suzhou in the last 30 years, ranging from inner-city to peripheral areas, starting from planning and leading up to user satisfaction studies. This in-depth overview on neighborhood typology and development in China follows the book Emergent Architectural Territories in East Asian Cities by Peter Rowe, who is among the world’s best scholars on urban transformation in East Asia, together with his colleagues Ann Forsyth and Har Ye Kan.
Mit ihrem schnellen Wachstum unterliegen die Städte Chinas einem hohen Entwicklungsdruck. Sie müssen sich anpassen und verwandeln, doch auf welchen Grundlagen und mit welchen Zielen? Das Buch zeichnet die Transformationsprozesse nach, die seit drei Jahrzehnten in etwa 25 Nachbarschaften der Großstädte Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen und Suzhou ablaufen. Die Beispiele reichen von zentralen Wohnvierteln bis hin zu städtischen Randlagen, und ihre Darstellung erstreckt sich von der städtebaulichen Planung bis hin zu Untersuchungen der Bewohnerzufriedenheit. Diese vertiefte Analyse urbaner Umgebungen schließt an das frühere Buch von Peter Rowe an, der mit Emergent Architectural Territories in East Asian Cities seinem Ruf als einem der weltbesten Kenner der Städte in Fernost gerecht wurde.
