Folded color map in rear pocket. Number 7 in the "Urbanization of the Earth" series. With 1 chart, 389 figures and 19 tables. "In the monograph Cities in China, Schinz processed material that he had collected during his travels and contacts with the municipal building and planning authorities and universities (e.g. he was a visiting professor at Tongji University, Shanghai in 1983/84). The book is a detailed presentation of the status quo of Chinese urban development at the beginning of the reform period (mid-1980s), illustrated with many plans. About 150 cities are presented with short portraits and cartographically uniform in their regional context." --Wikipedia (translated from German)
