SpringerBriefs in Geography Resilient Governance of Urban Redevelopment - Bin Li Kartoniert (TB)

To examine the origins characteristics and outcomes of resilient governance with Chinese characteristics this open access book takes Guangzhou a typical Chinese city from 1990 to 2015 as an example. Through participant observation semi-structured interviews and the collection of secondary data this book finds that (1) the institutional context can be described as an authoritarian land-oriented pro-growth regime (2) there are three phases with different patterns of governance: the Primitive Market Phase (1990-1998) the Pure Government Phase (1998-2006) and the Multiple Players Phase ( 2006-2015) (3) redevelopment can serve as a model of resilient governance because it changes in time in a dynamic environment to maximise economic growth (4) an authoritarian land-oriented pro-growth regime is the key to support such a resilient governance model. This is an open access book.
