{"product_id":"the-modern-city-in-asia-kristin-stapleton-9781108994927","title":"The Modern City in Asia","description":"Kristin Stapleton analyzes how concepts and practices associated with the 'modern city' were received, transformed, and contested in Asia over the past 150 years. In the early twentieth century, activists took advantage of the new significance of the city to pursue a wide variety of goals. Thus, the concept of the modern city played an important role in Asia, despite much critical commentary on the ideals associated with it. By the 1940s, the city yielded its political centrality to the nation. Still, modern cities remained an important marker of national achievement during the Cold War. In recent decades, cities have continued to play a central role in economic and cultural affairs in Asia, but the concept of the modern city has evolved. Asian ideas about urban governance and visions of future cities are significantly shaping that evolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin Stapleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110899492X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108994927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Kristin Stapleton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079783969023,"sku":"9781108994927","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60c25373-ddfb-42b6-973d-d2813fe05e8d.jpg?v=1685483120","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-modern-city-in-asia-kristin-stapleton-9781108994927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
