This book is anchored in the spatial sciences, including geography, urban studies, urban planning, and envi…
Village resettlement and social relations in transition: The case of Suzhou, China
China's modernisation and urbanisation are transformative, for places and people. Recently, under agricultural land consolidation and resident resettlement, a large number of rural villagers have been thrust into a compressed process of rural-urban transition. How are resettled villagers integrating into urban society? Specifically, how do they build and rebuild social relations – an important dimension of integration – in the new living environm…
The Sage Handbook of Contemporary China

Analyzing such changes in the context of multiple disciplinary perspectives offers opportunites as well as challenges for scholars in the field known as contemporary China Studies. The SAGE Handbook of Contemporary China is a two-volume exploration of the tran…

Agency and social construction of space under top-down planning: Resettled rural residents in China
Resettled rural communities are a product of China’s rapid urbanisation and associated top-down planning. For local governments, relocating farmers from natural villages into new, concentrated residential neighbourhoods serves the dual purpose of implementing national directives on farmland conservation and integrated urban–rural planning. For resettled residents, however, the transition process is fraught with livelihood, social and cultural con…
To move or to stay in a migrant enclave in Beijing: The role of neighborhood social bonds
The social integration of migrants in developing countries has long been an important issue in academic research, and analyzing migrants' intentions to stay in current migrant enclaves may shed light on how they view their prospects in host cities. Given the importance of migrant social bonds in helping to build their urban lives, this article evaluates the effect of neighborhood social bonds on migrants' intentions to stay in migrant enclaves. B…

Perceived Organizational Support Impacts on the Associations of Work-Family Conflict or Family-Work Conflict with Depressive Symptoms among Chinese Doctors
As a common mental disorder, depressive symptoms had been studied extensively all over the world. However, positive resources for combating depressive symptoms among Chinese doctors were rarely studied. Our study aimed to investigate the relationships between work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) with depressive symptoms among Chinese doctors. Meanwhile, the role of perceived organizational support (POS) in this association wa…

Together but Unequal: Citizenship Rights for Migrants and Locals in Urban China
This article provides a renewed understanding of migrants’ citizenship rights in urban China. Specifically, we look at how migrants fare in attaining homeownership and social benefits, in comparison with local residents. We also explore how migrant outcomes relate to both individual socioeconomic and institutional factors. The results are primarily based on the 2005 One Percent Population Survey in two of China’s largest cities—Beijing and Shangh…
Supervisor–subordinate kankei , job satisfaction and work outcomes in Japanese firms
In this study, we revisit a research model in which the relationships between Japanese supervisor–subordinate kankei (S-S kankei) and organisational commitment, job promotions and turnover intentions are mediated through job satisfaction. Based on the data randomly collected from a sample of 201 Japanese subordinates in three manufacturing firms in Tokyo, Japan, the results of structural equation modelling tests indicated that job satisfaction do…

Report from the Editors
Governance is broadly speaking about the regulation of publicly relevant affairs. In this respect, spatial planning is certainly apart of governance. This article explores whether spatial planning can benefit from the rich debates that have evolved around the governance concept. It provides an overview of the principal variants of the governance concept and discusses their potential implications for planning. Using a concrete planning case, the a…

Migrant residential distribution and metropolitan spatial development in Shanghai
Drifting and getting stuck: Migrants in Chinese cities
Residential mobility patterns are an important indicator of the future socioeconomic standing of rural–urban migrants in the urban society. In Chinese cities there are significant barriers for migrants to settle permanently. Given this context and housing choices available to migrants, what types of housing career do they follow once in the city? Drawing from survey data from three large cities, this paper studies migrant intra‐urban residential …

Urban Infrastructure Financing and Economic Performance in China
Research points to a strong association between infrastructure investment and economic performance. Despite China's great strides in providing basic services, there is increasing disparity among cities of different regions in their ability and performance to finance infrastructure development. Such unevenness has a long-term effect on urban economic growth. This study explores patterns and the expanding range of mechanisms for urban infrastructur…

Migrant Housing in Urban China: Choices and Constraints
China’srecent waves of internal migration, primarily rural to urban, reflect a rapidly urbanizing society undergoing a transition from a planned to a market economy. The author addresses two key questions: what access migrants have to urban housing and how migrant housing conditions compare with those of the locals. The main findings are based on citywide housing surveys and interviews conducted in Shanghai and Beijing, as well as results from of…
Sources of Migrant Housing Disadvantage in Urban China
The increasing level of labor mobility in China challenges the current population-management structure. In particular, recent reforms in urban housing provision seem largely to overlook the needs of the migrant population. In this paper I examine the sources of migrant housing disadvantage in cities. Specifically, I analyze the institutional and socioeconomic factors underlying migrant housing choice and conditions, and how these factors influenc…

Migrant Intra-urban Residential Mobility in Urban China
Migrant housing and mobility patterns are affected by both the unique institutional factors related to migration and a common set of socio-economic characteristics shared by urban residents. China's unprecedented waves of internal migration are accompanied by long-standing rural–urban and local–nonlocal divides that have been institutionalized through the household registration system. This paper empirically assesses intra-urban migrant mobility …

Pathways to a World City: Shanghai Rising in an Era of Globalisation
In a globalising world, cities at or near the apex of the international urban hierarchy are among the favoured few—New York, London and Tokyo—that have acquired large economic, cultural and symbolic roles. Among a handful of regional aspirants, such as Hong Kong, Miami and Sao Paulo, Shanghai has reasonable long-term prospects. If the Chinese economy can sustain its growth rate, it will rival the US in a few decades. And if Shanghai is able to re…

Reforming China's Institutional Environment for Urban Infrastructure Provision
Rapid urbanisation in the reform period has resulted in a very high demand for basic urban infrastructure in China. Improving its provision by the public sector is a challenge as problems persist in the form of unmet demand, deficiencies in cost recovery and inadequate maintenance. Institutional hurdles, particularly the lack of organisational and financial autonomy for the providers of urban infrastructure, are in part to blame. Urban constructi…

Chinese evidence versus the institutionalized power of English
Based on actual court cases involving Chinese tapes surreptitiously recorded by the US government, I examined the complications in using Chinese as evidence in court where English has the institutionalized power. Findings from my analysis suggest that: (1) overlooking certain linguistic features in Chinese when translating can lead to questions about the credibility of evidence used in court; (2) social and cultural factors associated with Chines…
