The Shenzhen Phenomenon is a comprehensive and systematic study about
how Shenzhen, the world’s fastest growing city, has developed into
an international metropolis from scratch within 40 years. It unravels
the decision and policy making, planning, design, and development
processes that have enabled the city’s rapid growth, and associated
problems and paradoxes. It also reveals the politics and power that
have propelled this experimental city to spearhead Deng Xiaoping’s
‘reform and opening-up’ agenda, which has made the city and remade
the nation. This book demystifies several long-held misperceptions
through identifying Shenzhen’s rise as an opportunity deriving from
a crisis, as a product of both grassroots ingenuity and top vision,
and as both a planned city and an unplanned city. Produced on the 40th
anniversary of Shenzhen, this timely volume not only offers a
comprehensive and systematic chronicle of the city, but also opens a
window to understand China’s new city making and urbanisation. It
will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners in the
field of urban and Chinese studies, as well as urban planning and
design.
