The Sage Handbook of Urbanization in China is a pioneering handbook that reframes our understanding of Chinäs extraordinary urban transformation-a demographic shift of unprecedented scale and speed that has seen two-thirds of its population becoming urban dwellers.

The Sage Handbook of Urbanization in China is a pioneering handbook that reframes our understanding of Chinäs extraordinary urban transformation-a demographic shift of unprecedented scale and speed that has seen two-thirds of its population becoming urban dwellers. Moving beyond conventional narratives, editors Hoffman, Hubbert, and Liu develop an innovative conceptual approach that emphasizes distinctiveness without exceptionalism, global connections without universalism, and complex interrelationships beyond binary oppositions. Through twenty-eight meticulously researched chapters of critical literature reviews, leading scholars explore Chinäs cities and urbanism not simply through top-down state directives but also through intricate negotiations among diverse actors, interests, and histories. Deploying the concept of "accompaniment," the editors argue the chapters reveal how state socialism and market mechanisms, rural traditions and urban aspirations coexist in dynamic tension rather than stark opposition. From historic preservation to smart city technologies, from migrant experiences to environmental initiatives, from land use and architecture to housing and labor, this volume demonstrates how urbanization in China is simultaneously localized and worlded-connected to global currents while producing distinctive outcomes. By focusing on human experiences alongside institutional arrangements, the contributors illuminate how diverse actors actively shape urban spaces through their everyday decisions, creative adaptations, and sometimes resistance. The Sage Handbook of Urbanization in China is essential reading for urban studies scholars, development practitioners, policy makers, and China specialists, this volume provides both literature reviews by scholarly experts and conceptual and analytical tools applicable far beyond Chinäs borders, contributing to global urban theory while respecting local specificity. Part One: Setting the Stage Part Two: Land Matters Part Three: Configuring Belonging Part Four: The Creative and the Disruptive Part Five: Negotiating Identities Part Six: Generating New Geographies
