TY - SER AU - Jonas, Andrew EG TI - China’s urban development in context: Variegated geographies of city-regionalism and managing the territorial politics of urban development PY - 2020/// CY - London PB - Sage N2 - China’s urban development is often regarded as exceptional in terms of both the pace of urbanisation and the size and territorial reach of the country’s constituent city-regions. This commentary examines the variegated role of city-regionalism in the internationalisation and domestic management of Chinese state territory, and considers how the rise of new city-regional urban forms inside China is transforming the politics of urban development. China urban development processes are neither exclusively unique nor are they resistant to general theorisation; instead they are essentially comparable and therefore amenable to further theoretical interpretation UR - https://doi.org/10.1177/0042098019898143 ER -
