Authors:
- Provides a detailed case study of Ningbo, an oft neglected second-tier Chinese city, for a different perspective on urban China
- Features ethnographic fieldwork for six months, including both in-depth interviews and participant/passive observations, which vividly portrays and interprets urban governance in contemporary China
- Features intensive archival research conducted at local libraries and archives for a brief investigation of Ningbo’s urban history since 1840, as well as the government policies for urban redevelopment since the late 1990s
- Presents a “people-oriented” perspective on China’s urban redevelopment, which is demonstrated through the voices and live experiences of various stakeholders involved in urban redevelopment, who have different sexes, ages, education, occupations, social status, religions and hometowns and even nationalities
