When America Became Suburban

    Robert A. Beauregard

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Minnesota Press, 2006

  • Links

  • Description

    Assessing the global implications of America?s suburban way of life as evidence of the superiority of capitalist democracy, Beauregard traces how the suburban ideology enabled America to distinguish itself from both the Communist bloc and Western Europe, thereby deepening its claim of exceptionalism on the world-historical stage. Placing the decline of America?s industrial cities and the rise of vast suburban housing and retail spaces into a cultural, political, and global context, Beauregard illuminates how these phenomena contributed to a changing notion of America?s identity at home and abroad.

China’s Urban Transition

  • China's Urban Transition

  • Attribution

    John Friedmann

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Minnesota Press, 2005

  • Links

  • Description

    Though China’s urban history reaches back over five thousand years, it is only in the last quarter century that urbanization has emerged as a force of widespread social transformation while a massive population shift from country to city has brought about a dramatic revolution in China’s culture, politics, and economy. China’s Urban Transition synthesizes a broad array of research to provide the first integrated treatment of the many processes that encompass the multi-layered meaning of urbanization: regional policy, the upsurge of rural industries, migration, expanding spheres of personal autonomy, and the governance of city building.
