Description

This scholarly book examines the moral politics of urban place-making in China's gated housing enclaves, drawing on fieldwork and surveys conducted in Shanghai. The author critically analyses how gated communities reproduce middle-class landscapes through the territorialisation of privilege, lifestyle and private property. Moving beyond conventional accounts of housing segregation, the study interrogates the cultural and political dimensions of the good life within commodity housing developments. The research challenges traditional concepts of gated communities by exploring their role in China's urban social stratification and the ways residents construct and maintain segregated spaces. Essential reading for scholars and students interested in Chinese urbanism, social geography, class politics and the intersection of property, privilege and public space in contemporary Chinese cities.
