The Remaking of Chinese Urban Neighbourhoods

This project brings together researchers from the University of Glasgow and Nankai University to examine changing neighbourhoods in three Chinese cities.

Concurrent processes of urbanisation, marketisation, industrialisation and service sector development have fundamentally transformed China's cities. This interdisciplinary project focuses on the interplay of spatial and socio-economic transformations and their consequences for people's experiences of urban neighbourhoods and access to public services. It examines how urbanisation together with in-migration and social re-stratification, are remaking urban neighbourhoods and Chinese urban dwellers' day-to-day lives.
