Description

The emergence of the city marks the beginning of a civilisation. The city, especially the leading cities of a country, is also where the major features of a country are contained and where historical events play out. This book introduces readers to the progress of China's civilisation over more than 5000 years of history, through the rise and development of its cities. From the prehistoric Yangshuo and Longshan periods all the way to the People's Republic, this book outlines major events and developments to highlight the evolution of the Chinese civilisation. Using historical dynasties and urban dynamics as vertical dimensions, it examines major historical events, economic developments, territorial changes, and other developments over China's long history. It also discusses the uniqueness of China's history and compares its civilisations to Western experiences. About the Author Victor Fung Shuen Sit was professor of Geography and Head of Department of Geography and Geology, University of Hong Kong, 1977 to 2007, and founding director of the Advanced Institute for Contemporary China Studies of Hong Kong Baptist University, 2008 to 2013. He obtained his BA (Hon) and MA from the University of Hong Kong, and his PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom. He serves as Honorary Professor of a number of renowned universities in China, including Peking University, Zhongshan University, Jinan University and Xian Jiaotung University, and as advisor of several firms in the energy and aviation industries. He also served as a Deputy of the National People's Congress of the PRC (1993–2008), as advisor to the Governor of Guangdong (2000–2005), and as advisor of a number of firms in the energy and aviation industries.Professor Sit has published a number of papers and books on Hong Kong and Macau, urban studies, Chinese cities, western urban history and civilisations, and on small industries, airports and development strategies. He is currently researching China's Belt and Road Initiative, urbanization in China, and the impact of the global aviation industry on the global economy.
