I’m pleased to be teaching “Remaking China’s Urban Futures: Urban Transformations in a Global Context” as part of the Global Public Policy International Summer School, jointly launched by the LSE–Fudan Research Centre for Global Public Policy and the Fudan Institute for Global Public Policy. This course builds on my research on China, examining how China’s urbanisation as one of the fastest and most consequential remakings of space in modern history shapes governance, finance, inequality and environmental risk across urban, regional and global scales. It’ll engage debates on uneven development, state entrepreneurialism and policy experimentation, land and local finance, mega-projects and urban risk, before turning to urban renewal and regeneration, globalising China, rural futures, and the governance of sustainability and “smart” urbanism. More information on the course can be found here: https://igpp.fudan.edu.cn/…/a8/81/c54258a764033/page.htm
I’m genuinely looking forward to visiting Shanghai to deliver the course, and I’m excited to have it included in this year’s summer school programme. Please share the course details with any prospective students who may be interested in joining. There are also many other exciting courses that can be found on the website, https://igpp.fudan.edu.cn/summer_school_en/main.htm #UrbanStudies #China #PublicPolicy #GlobalGovernance
