    Shanghai, China's Capital of Modernity

    SHANGHAI, CHINA’S CAPITAL OF MODERNITY: THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND URBAN EXPERIENCE OF WORLD EXPO 2010 by GARY PUI FUNG WONG A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOHPY School of Government and Society Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham February 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction uring the fall of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), Huang Xiangjian (1609–73) Djourneyed on foot from his native Suzhou to far-distant Yunnan Province to rescue his father, who had been posted there as an official of the collapsing dynasty. Leaving home in early 1652 and returning in mid–1653, Huang trav- eled for 558 days over 2,800 miles, braving hostile armies, violent bandits, fierce minority tribes, man-eating tigers, disease-laden regions, earthquakes, and the freezing rain and snow of the “Little Ice Age” to find his parents amidst the vast mountainous borderland province. Despite nearly impossible odds, he brought them back home. Huang then began to paint pictures of his odyssey through the sublime landscape of the dangerous, “barbarian” southwest in an extraor- dinarily dramatic style, and he wrote vivid accounts of his travels that were published as The Travel Records of Filial Son Huang (Huang Xiaozi jicheng).1 Huang Xiangjian created pictorial and literary works with distinct functions for the multilayered social networks that surrounded him. Personally, his most pressing concern was to establish a socially valuable reputation regarding filial piety and loyalty for himself and for his father in the wake of their return home to disorder. The initial step in this process was the writing ofThe Travel Records of Filial Son Huang, here translated for the first time in their entirety. The next step was to create paintings that captured the Huang family odyssey. This book is the first comprehensive examination of Huang Xiangjian’s landscape paintings of the southwest edge of the Chinese empire.

    Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait Through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks

    sustainability Article Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks Yan Ma * and Feng Xue School of Architecture and Urban-Rural Planning, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, Fujian, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Globalization and the spread of information have made city networks more complex. The existing research on city network structures has usually focused on discussions of regional integration. With the development of interconnections among cities, however, the characterization of city network structures on a regional scale is limited in the ability to capture a network’s complexity. To improve this characterization, this study focused on network structures at both regional and local scales. Through the lens of function and innovation, we characterized the city network structure of the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through a social network analysis and a Fast Unfolding Community Detection algorithm. We found a significant imbalance in the innovation cooperation among cities in the region. When considering people flow, a multilevel spatial network structure had taken shape. Among cities with strong centrality, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Whenzhou had a significant spillover effect, which meant the region was depolarizing. Quanzhou and Ganzhou had a significant siphon effect, which was unsustainable. Generally, urbanization in small and midsize cities was common. These findings provide support for government policy making. Keywords: city network; spatial organization; people flows; innovation network 1.
  • Supersized Cities China's 13 Megalopolises

    Supersized Cities China's 13 Megalopolises

    TM Supersized cities China’s 13 megalopolises A report from the Economist Intelligence Unit www.eiu.com Supersized cities China’s 13 megalopolises China will see its number of megalopolises grow from three in 2000 to 13 in 2020. We analyse their varying stages of demographic development and the implications their expansion will have for several core sectors. The rise and decline of great cities past was largely based on their ability to draw the ambitious and the restless from other places. China’s cities are on the rise. Their growth has been fuelled both by the large-scale internal migration of those seeking better lives and by government initiatives encouraging the expansion of urban areas. The government hopes that the swelling urban populace will spend more in a more highly concentrated retail environment, thereby helping to rebalance the Chinese economy towards private consumption. Progress has been rapid. The country’s urbanisation rate surpassed 50% for the first time in 2011, up from a little over one-third just ten years earlier. Even though the growth of China’s total population will soon slow to a near standstill, the urban population is expected to continue expanding for at least another decade. China’s cities will continue to grow. Some cities have grown more rapidly than others. The metropolitan population of the southern city of Shenzhen, China’s poster child for the liberal economic reforms of the past 30 years, has nearly doubled since 2000. However, development has also spread through more of the country, and today the fastest-growing cities are no longer all on the eastern seaboard.

Received May 13, 2019; Accepted August 6, 2019; Epub October 15, 2019; Published October 30, 2019 Abstract: Objective: Based on the scientific analysis and research of home and home care systems in China and abroad, this paper discussed the needs, impact factors, home care problems, development methods, solutions of urban elderly community systems and urban community elderly care in Chongqing. This may provide some policy advice for effective/economic/equal service delivery to promote the development of China's long-term elderly care. Methods: With multistage stratified cluster random sampling, we classified all the districts in Chongqing according to the economic level and then 2 or 3 districts in each level were selected to conduct an on-site survey in order to understand the utilization situation and demands on home-based care service. According to the principle of free will, a total of 1635 elderly citizens aged above 65 fulfilled the self-designated questionnaire, including general information, health condition and demand of elder care service. The statistical methods included descriptive statis- tics analysis, chi-square test, univariate and logistic regression analysis by SPSS 21.0. Results: A total of 1553 valid questionnaires were collected with an effective recovery of 94.98%.

    The Lives of iSlaves: Report on Working Conditions at Apple’s Supplier Pegatron How the brand new bigger and better iPhone 6 are made? This report exposes the slavery working conditions at three factories of Pegatron Corporation, one of the major suppliers of Apple Inc. Pegatron, as reported by earlier news articles online, have been contracted to produce about 50 million units, which is equivalent to nearly half of Apple’s iPhone shipping in this autumn and winter. 1 The data presented in this report are drawn from our surveys conducted in three subsidies plants of Pegatron Corp., namely Maintek Computer (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (名碩電腦(蘇州)有限公 司), Cotek Electronics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (康碩電子(蘇州)有限公司) and Casetek Computer (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (凱碩電腦(蘇州)有限公司). They are all located in No. 233, Jinfeng Rd., Suzhou, Jiangsu, China. It is found that the working conditions at these three factories are abhorringly poor, which again show how Apple Inc. is building its empire at the cost of blood, sweat, and tears of migrant workers in the Chinese mainland. 1 Phonearena.com, Taiwanese supplier Pegatron handed 50% of Apple's gargantuan 2014 iPhone 6 orders, retrieved at http://www.phonearena.com/news/Taiwanese-supplier-Pegatron-handed-50-of-Apples-gargantuan- 2014-iPhone-6-orders_id59369 Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour Telephone: (852) 2392 5464 Fax: (852) 2392 5463 Email: [email protected] Website: www.sacom.hk Mailing Address: P.O.Box No. 79583, Mongkok Post Office, HONG KONG The Lives of iSlaves: 02 Report on Working Conditions at Apple’s Supplier Pegatron 1.
