American architect Edmund Ong describes the new China he encounters on his return after three decades. Struck by the pure alacrity of development, he is also startled by the extreme juxtapositions of old and new. He observes an unprecedented free‐for‐all environment that contends with many of the same urban dilemmas already encountered in 20th‐century America. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
