LOCAL ISING THE GISING LOBAL

摘要

Fulong Wu has argued that 'the restructuring of Chinese cities - since the nation's economic reform in 1978 - is a local process that exploits and constitutes global processes'.1 He claims that Chinese urban developments interpret and modify external influences into locally viable manifestations of global participations, producing a 'civilisational mix' of exogenous influences in accordance with their own traditions, values and representations.
