In this comprehensive and accessible new study, Toby Lincoln presents the first comprehensive history of Chinese cities, spanning their origins to the present.

It serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in China and urban history, providing a deep understanding of the complex and dynamic nature of Chinese cities and their role in shaping the world as we know it today.
