Until around 1990, Shanghai was ChinaOCOs premier but sluggish industrial center.

ShanghaiOCOs remarkable growth in economy, infrastructure, and global presence has prompted questions about the Shanghai OC miracle.OCO This collection places the cityOCOs unprecedented rise in a rare comparative examination of U.S. cities, as well as with Asian megacities Singapore and Hong Kong, providing a nuanced account of how the ShanghaiOCOs politics, economy, society, and space have been transformed by macro- and micro-level forces.Contributors: Stephen W.
