Abstract: Shanghai deservedly attracts much scholarly attention, both inside and outside China, as a striking exemplar of China’s resurgence onto the world scene. This edited compilation emphasizes the dimension of comparison with other developing and developed world cities, beginning Part I with both a strength and a weakness of this volume: contributions from scholars whose background is not in studying Shanghai. It is a laudable effort to engage non-China specialists but shows the risks involved. Although the contributors are well known for work on global city theory, aerotropolis complexes, Bangkok, and high-tech clusters, their value for understanding Shanghai’s development is less convincing.
