Gradient-explicit assessment of surface urban heat island intensity in subtropical megacities
Urban technological catch-up in post-reform China amidst centralized resource constraints
Amid rapid changes in geopolitical contexts and technological conditions, recent studies on technological catch-up have increasingly shifted their focus from neoliberal international cooperation to domestic state restructuring. In the context of post-reform China, while the pivotal role of the state in facilitating technological innovation has been widely recognized, much of the existing literature has placed emphasis on entrepreneurial local sta…
Measuring the international ocean economy trade
With the increasing importance of ocean in the international economy, it is time for the statistics of ocean economy to go beyond the simple accounting of national economic share, and move to the statistics and measurement of international trade flows. Based on the “Theory-method-application" approach and a global review of ocean economy and its trade statistics accounting theory, this paper reclassifies the products in the international trade cl…
Identifying World Sports Cities based on the network analysis of global sports diffusion from 1984 to 2022
Analysing the heterogeneity in working conditions of migrant informal workers in China
This paper sheds light on the internal heterogeneity within the informal economy by examining the working conditions of migrant informal workers in China. It presents the first attempt to test the WIEGO model on the relationship between informality, income, poverty and gender. Based on 107,020 samples of informal workers from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS), economic, social and occupational health components of working conditions o…

Beyond regional endogenous and firm-centric accounts
Hedonic price effects of homeworking under the Covid-19
After the pandemic
The COVID-19 lockdowns have transitioned to a new normal and triggered commodity supply disruption and trade uncertainty, yet little is known about the seafood trade resilience of developing and developed countries amid pandemic-related shocks. Here, employing a newly developed geographical transition-net model, we simulate a set of idealized lockdown scenarios in a real-world seafood network. The results show that (1) even if restrictions from r…
Daily mobilities with smartphone apps and their failures
The key purpose of this article is to provide a nuanced understanding of the platform-city-people nexus shaped by digitally mediated mobilities. This article focuses on urban practices of walking, driving and ride-hailing with mobile technologies and their failures on an everyday basis in urban Guangzhou (a megacity in south China), based on an analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data collected from the fieldwork in 2021. It finds that …

The Paradox of Care
Feminist scholars have highlighted the potential of care ethics to challenge the neoliberal social paradigm by underscoring the power of emotion and affect in shaping intersubjectivity. In a similar vein, Hardt and Negri (2001 Hardt, M., and A. Negri. 2001. Empire. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], 2005 Hardt, M., and A. Negri. 2005.

Reconfiguration of Cultural Resources for Tourism in Urban Villages—A Case Study of Huangpu Ancient Village in Guangzhou
In the course of China’s rapid urbanization, rural places are brought into urban areas, forming semi-urbanization. These semi-urbanized sites suggest a dual urban–rural structure in their form and management. With the slowing down of urbanization, the Chinese government adopted heritage tourism to boost the local economy. Local historic buildings and cultural resources were regenerated and restored in this process. This paper aims at examining th…
Neighbor interactions and settlement intentions of African Migrants in urban China
The presence of African migrants in Chinese cities has attracted extensive scholarly interest. While several studies have noticed a decline in the population of African migrants in Guangzhou along with the recent changes of policies on immigration control, the present study casts new light to the currently remaining African migrants in Guangzhou who are less susceptible to the strict immigration control measures and are more likely to be socially…
Globalization and the Governance of Muslim Spaces in Contemporary Guangzhou
This article explores how Muslim spaces in urban China have been regulated under the influence of transnational mobilities in the past few decades, based on a qualitative study. Our key findings demonstrate that the Chinese government applies distinctive strategies to control different types of Muslim spaces: The temporary religious places for foreign Muslims are significantly visible for market-driven purposes, and the Sinicization policy regula…
The Changing Factors Affecting Local Environmental Governance in China
This paper aims to examine the changing factors underlying China's environmental governance, by investigating the long-term dynamic impacts of related endogenous and exogenous factors and considering regional differences in these factors. The study estimated environmental regulation intensity and employed the geographical detector technique to analyze its driving factors, based on 21 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province, China, from 1990…
Constrained voluntary informalisation
Connections and disconnections between family and religion
This paper explores how Muslim immigrants negotiate their family practices and religious identities in secular Guangzhou, a global city in south China, drawing on an in‐depth qualitative analysis. It provides a lens for better understanding the interrelationship between family practices, transnational mobility, and religious values spatially in the Chinese context. The key arguments of this research suggest that transnational mobility plays impor…
Belonging to a Place
The predominant trend has been rapid and unprecedented migration from rural to urban China since the mid-1980s. This dramatic demographic change has profoundly reshaped the migrants’ sense of the newly settled place. By examining the perceptual changes that have occurred in this usual context, we attempted to analyze the impact of social connection on the migrants’ sense of belonging to the host cities. In order to accomplish this, we conducted a…
Chinese Muslims' daily food practices and their geographies of encounter in urban Guangzhou
This article aims to understand how Chinese Muslims negotiate their identities and how they are included and excluded in urban Guangzhou – a multicultural and multi-ethnic city in south China – through the lens of food. This empirical research consists of intersectional and interactional analysis based on narratives of both the ethnic majority and minority groups. Drawing on a qualitative analysis, this research sheds light on both Muslim geograp…
Depressive symptoms among Chinese residents
Social environments moderate the relationship between the built environment and depression. As environments seem to interact with each other, we advise against relying on a single environment when examining associations with depressive symptoms
Governmentality and Spatial Strategies
A new policy approach that seeks to formalize street vendors by immobilizing them in designated places has been taken as an alternative to exclusion in Guangzhou, China. This article develops an analytical framework for understanding this spatial formalization by drawing upon Foucault's concept of governmentality. Formalization can be understood as a form of spatial governmentality that seeks to guide the behaviour of informal economic individual…
The Relationship between Air Pollution and Depression in China
There is increasing evidence from the developed world that air pollution is significantly related to residents' depressive symptoms; however, the existence of such a relationship in developing countries such as China is still unclear. Furthermore, although neighbourhood social capital is beneficial for health, whether it is a protective factor in the relationship between health and environment pollution remains unclear. Consequently, we examined …
The relationship between urbanization and depression in China
Urbanization supports mental health in the Chinese context, although it might undermine residents' mental health by reducing neighborhood social capital. The protective effect of neighborhood-level reciprocity and social group membership on mental health increased with urbanization
The effects of social ties on rural-urban migrants' intention to settle in cities in China
Identity Building and Communal Resistance against Landgrabs in Wukan Village, China
Over the last two decades, rapid urban expansion building on landgrabs has become ubiquitous in China. The pursuit of urban-centered economic growth has created crises of land deprivation and rural identity in Chinese rural society. Land-related protests have become the focal point of movements for the protection of Chinese farmers' rights. Drawing on ethnographic materials concerning a series of influential protests over landgrabs in Wukan villa…
Informality and the state’s ambivalence in the regulation of street vending in transforming Guangzhou, China
From Revanchism to Ambivalence
By focusing on Guangzhou's street-vending policy transformation, this article explores how exclusionary practices of urban politics in China are undermined by those who it seeks to exclude and the progressive political climate that questions the exclusionary framework. The exclusion of street vendors in Guangzhou has been led by the National Sanitary City campaign as a revanchist project. It has been discovered that while the exclusionary strateg…
An African Enclave in China
The paper, by three geographers, including a noted U.S.-based senior specialist on China's urban and human realm, presents the first known academic study of the country's African migrants. The authors examine the emergence of a new African community (primarily traders from West Africa) in the Xiaobei urban district of Guangzhou City, arguing that Xiaobei is not only a space for transacting transnational business but also a place of sojourn where …
The effects of social ties on rural-urban migrants' intention to settle in cities in China
Failing entrepreneurial governance
This paper analyzes the recent fiscal crisis among villages in the city of Dongguan. The city has been an exemplar of export-oriented growth in China. Rapid economic development has been attributed to local state entrepreneurial governance based on a close relationship between the local state and enterprises. However, this development approach has led to a severe fiscal crisis, especially at the village level, due to declining rental incomes, ine…
Beyond unemployment
The proliferation of urban street vending in developing countries is generally viewed as being as a result of unemployment. Using a theoretical approach based on mainstream perspectives on informal employment and first-hand material from 200 semi-structured vendor interviews in Guangzhou, we challenge this view by revealing the heterogeneity of people’s motivations for participating in street vending in present-day China. Various types of laboure…

Mobility and the Transiency of Social Spaces
This paper investigates how China's heterogeneous African population contributes to shaping new types of social spaces in Chinese cities. We analyse how their different types of collective ( primary and corporate ) agency work in the creation of trans ient spaces, that is, trans local and trans forming spaces in Guangzhou and Foshan, China. A mixed‐methods research approach was applied to cover the breadth and depth of African merchants' social s…

Small Town Development in the Periphery of Big Cities in China
Since adopting the policy of reformation and opening to the outside world in 1978, remarkable changes have taken place in the social economic structure of China, and its urbanization has been speeded up. During the period of the Eighth Five-Year Plan, there were nearly 50,000 small towns in the whole country which absorbed about 50 million rural surplus labour. A number of small towns within the areas of jurisdiction of coastal metropolises have …

Urbanization, economic development and health
The impact of urbanization and economic development on health in China is complicated. Careful assessments are needed to understand the health impact of China's rapid urbanization. Social and environmental problems arising from rapid urbanization and economic growth should be addressed. Equitable provision of health services are needed to improve low-income groups' health in highly urbanized cities
