3X3 A PERSPECTIVE ON CHINA - Part SIX CHINA TRANSITION
China's development today is no longer of China's own issue, is of world's historical importance.
3X3 A PERSPECTIVE ON CHINA, Monthly Lecture Series at the Center for Architecture (New York) creates a platform for a broadened understanding of current Chinese architectural and urban practice. the 9 part monthly lecture series will bring together Chinese and internationally recognized scholars, artists, and architects to examine the unique contradictions and challenges posed by China's rapid urbanization and growth.
Part Six China Transition
China’s urban and rural transformation is characterized by dynamic phenomena that question Western ways of analyzing the city, its culture and its people. Two renowned professors will analyze and discuss China’s transition by exploring the peri-urban condition and the creation of new urbanism in transitional Chinese cities. In these areas of urban expansion, where rural meets urban life, China reinvents itself, rural migrants man the industries located on the city's edge, and young urban professionals move out to the urban periphery in search of the quiet life. Examining new urbanism means understanding the interplay between state, market, and space. China’s market transition is used as a laboratory to observe these three inter-linked transformations. This multilayered meaning of urbanization enables us to understand the causes and effects of, and the motives behind contemporary Chinese urban development.
