The Sounds of Social Space - Branding, Built Environment, and Leisure in Urban China

About the author

Paul Kendall is lecturer in Chinese studies at the University of Westminster.

Summary

Drawing on Henri Lefebvre's triad of social space, this book explores the relationship between Kaili's branding, built environment, and everyday life. Paul Kendall argues that increased focus on the small city helps counter a tendency to conceive China as either timeless village or futuristic metropolis.
