The course presents and discusses contemporary Chinese new towns focusing ontwo main issues: the spatial features and the regional scaling-up of the Chineseurbanization processes.While presenting these issues, on the one hand the course will emphasize thespecificity of some investigated contexts, on the other, it will transcend the specificcases in order to question urban studies beyond the (alleged) exceptionality ofChinese urbanization.By adopting this approach Chinese new towns become an object of study as well asa specific viewpoint from which to radically re-discuss old categories, interpretations,and even the epistemology of the urban.
