Description: | Select Guide Rating Written in an accessible and rigorous manner, Patchell integrates agglomeration concepts with the China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA) conditions to explain the region’s rise, innovativeness, and resilience.

Patchell integrates agglomeration concepts with the GBA’s distinctive features to explain the region’s rise, innovativeness, and resilience. He reveals how the GBA works as differentiated and interdependent systems, providing a window into the GBA and China, while also providing the basis for a comparative approach to mega-cities and mega-regions. Key topics discussed in the book include:
Written in an accessible yet rigorous manner, this textbook is ideal for a course on this important region, for comparative courses on agglomeration and large-scale urban development and for people wanting a greater understanding of urban processes and China. |
