Description and Table of Contents
Description
Examining the nature of a Chinese city and the traditional concept of Chinese city planning, this volume uses Beijing as a case study. It describes how the traditional Chinese world view has influenced the function and layout of the Chinese city; in particular, the capital city. The influence of Soviet planning since 1949 is also traced and discussed in length through the thematic treatment of Beijing after 1949, in a number of chapters that cover city planning, housing, urban transport, urban environment, social areas and economic and non-economic functions of the city.
