20 John R. Logan To begin with, China’s opening to international exchange is itself a potential stimulus to political transformation. Open access to information and alternative models from other countries is one source, deepening over time as hundreds of thousands of Chinese – including many from elite families – live and study abroad. Another is information and communication technology, accepted by the regime as necessary to economic growth but at the same time a key new organizational resource for civil society.

There has never been such a case, a Third World country propelled so quickly toward the first rank of world powers, at the same time as making a transition from a centrally planned to a market society. And, because urban scholarship in China – by the Chinese as well as by international researchers – is still young, we may also see urban China as a research frontier. The contributions in this volume are a step toward exploring this magnificent territory. The New Chinese City John R. Logan Copyright 0Blackwell Publishers Ltd 2002 2 The Present Situation and Prospective Development of the Shanghai Urban Community Duo Wu and Taibin Li Since 1990, Shanghai has been moving into a phase of accelerated urbanization.

This modernized complex, accommodating a shopping center, restaurants, a center of business and information, cultural and recreational facilities, and a commercial and financial center, makes Xinzhuang Industrial Park a municipal-level industrial region and burgeoning commercial center (Shanghai Municipal People’s Bureau of Civil Affairs, 1999, p. 52). Furthermore, the completion of the subway No. 1 line has greatly improved transportation and connection to the greater urban area. With the establishment of the Xinzhuang Intersection – the largest intersection in Asia – and the Eastern Pearl light rail line, it is expected that transportation will become even more convenient as Xinzhuang continues to develop.
