L’articolo discute i processi di urbanizzazione cinesi a partire dalle new town che si stanno costruendo nel paese. Attraverso la ricostruzione dei processi che danno forma, materiale e simbolica, ai luoghi, le new town sono assunte come cartine di tornasole che assorbono e riverberano le caratteristiche e le contraddizioni dell’urbanizzazione cinese contemporanea, superando l’eccezionalità dei dati demografici. Interrogare le new town diventa così un modo per mettere in discussione ciò che le città sono (e sono diventate), in Cina come altrove.;
