Native place, city, and nation: Regional networks and identities in Shanghai, 1853-1937

<div><b>Extract from the Introduction:</b></div>
</div>
This study explores social practices and rituals related to xxiangyi , also called xiangqing and ziyi , Chinese expressions for the sentiment that binds people from the same native place. This sentiment, and the social institutions which expressed it, profoundly shaped the nature and development of modern Chinese urban society. The two quotations which begin this chapter suggest twin aspects of urban social organization and behavior that correspond to native-place sentiment. The account in the 1907 Shanghai gazetteer describes organization by native place as a necessary, natural, specifically Chinese and indeed "morally excellent" response to the dangers posed by urban admixture and anomie. Daotai Intendment Wu XU's description of the city under his jurisdiction indicates a possible drawback to the "moral excellence" of native-place sentiment, suggesting that, when individuals from different native-place groups mixed together on a city street, they felt no common identity as Chinese. The chapters which follow address these themes—the prominence of native-place sentiment and organization in Chinese cities and the influence of such ideas and social formations on city life, social order and urban and national identity.<br />
<br />
The study is based on Shanghai and covers nearly a century, from the opening of the city to foreign trade in 1843 to the establishment of Guomindang dominance in the Nanjing decade (1927-37). Throughout this period immigrant groups from other areas of China dominated Shanghai's rapidly expanding urban population, which more than quadrupled in the nineteenth century. Shanghai's population in 1800 was between one-quarter and one-third million. By 1910 it was 1.3 million. It doubled again by 1927, to 2.6 million. Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, immigrants comprised at least 75 percent of the total figure. Some of these immigrants came to Shanghai to explore economic opportunities; others came in waves to flee war and famine in their native place.<br />
<br />
Combining forces to meet the imperatives of their new urban surroundings, these immigrants formed native-place associations, huiguan and tongxianghui. Such associations and the sentiments which engendered them were formative elements of Shanghai's urban environment throughout the late Qing and early Republican periods. Social, economic and political organization along lines of regional identity shaped the development of the city.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
The Russian City Between Tradition and Modernity provides a comprehensive history of urban development in European Russia during the last half of the nineteenth century. Using both statistical perspectives on urbanization and cultural representations of the city, Brower constructs a synthetic view of the remaking of urban Russia. He argues that the reformed municipalities succeeded in creating an embryonic civil society among the urban elite but failed to fashion a unified, orderly city. By the end of the century, the cities confronted social disorder of a magnitude that resembled latent civil war. Drawing on a wide range of archival and published sources, including census materials and reports from municipal leaders and tsarist officials, Brower offers a new approach to the social history of Russia. The author emphasizes the impact of the massive influx of migrants on the country's urban centers, whose presence dominated the social landscape of the city. He outlines the array of practices by which the migrant laborers adapted to urban living and stresses the cultural barriers that isolated them from the well-to-do urban population. Brower suggests that future scholarship should pay particular attention to the duality between the sweeping visions of social progress of the elite and the unique practices of the urban workforce. This contradiction, he argues, offers a key explanation for the social instability of imperial Russia in the closing decades of the nineteenth century.</div>

Chinese cities and the outside world: A workshop for City, Culture and Society
China, Chine, Macao, Hong Kong, migrant, migration urbaine, exclusion, film, Croucher Richard, Li Pingli, Okano Hiroshi
<div><b>Extract from the Introduction by Richard Croucher, Pingli Li and Hiroshi Okano:</b></div> </div> The articles make contributions on economic, social and cultural aspects of their subject and embody economic, social, historical and cultural perspectives. Michael Brookes takes an international comparative view, examining export-led growth in the contrasting economies of South Africa and China, setting a significant context for those articles which follow on urban settings. Richard Croucher and Lilian Miles present their view of the position of the enormous number of internal migrant workers in China, a subject closely related to the wider issue of social exclusion in Chinese cities explored by Anne Daguerre and Elena Vacchelli. A third article in this trilogy dealing with migration and social exclusion in Chinese cities is provided by David Etherington. In a fascinating and detailed article on the historic evolution of relations between the Chinese authorities, local Chinese people and the Portuguese in Macao, Kai Cheong Fok explains the origins of the ‘Macao Formula’ which has long provided an effective framework for interaction between China and the outside world. Mark Houssart provides a very different but also interesting cultural perspective on the China’s other key urban window to the outside world, Hong Kong, with an article on the Infernal Affairs film trilogy.</div> </div> <b>Contents:</b></div> </div> Richard Croucher, Pingli Li and Hiroshi Okano - Introduction</div> Michael Brookes - Export-led growth in China and South Africa: Two distinct journeys</div> Richard Croucher and Lilian Miles - Migrant workers in China: Social exclusion, protection and representation</div> Anne Daguerre and Elena Vacchelli - Social exclusion in Chinese cities in the 21st century</div> Fok Kai Cheong (K.

Women, slums and urbanisation : Examining the causes and consequences
femme, bidonville, violence, urbanisation, migration urbaine, Mumbai, Colombo, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Accra, Nairobi, women, genre, gender, COHRE
<div>A first of its kind, this COHRE report examines the worldwide phenomenon of urbanisation from the point of view of women’s housing rights.</div> </div> The report focuses, in particular, on the experiences of women and girls living in slum communities throughout the world, premised on the idea that both the causes and consequences of urbanisation for women are, in fact, unique and deeply related to issues of gender. Unfortunately, the question of women’s migration to the cities has, for too long, remained largely under-addressed and unexamined.</div> </div> Activists and scholars alike have tended to overlook and neglect women’s particular experiences within the context of ever increasing urban growth. Shining the light on these experiences makes this study truly distinctive. <br /> <br /> Working across the Americas, Asia, and Africa, COHRE interviewed women and girls living in six global cities, representing some twenty different (and indeed, diverse) slum communities.</div> </div> The stories shared by these women and girls elucidated the very personal struggles which women face in their day-to-day lives, as well as the broader connections that these struggles have to issues of gender-based violence, gender discrimination, and women’s housing insecurity. In turn – as this report makes clear – for women, these issues are themselves intimately connected to the global trend towards urban growth.</div> </div>

S'adapter au déplacement en milieu urbain
, migration urbaine, réfugié, conflit, humanitaire
<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
Au niveau mondial, l'urbanisation - le mouvement des individus vers les villes - continue son essor, et un nombre croissant de personnes déplacées, qu'elles soient réfugiées ou PDI, résident aujourd'hui en milieu urbain plutôt que dans des camps. Relativement peu d'informations sont disponibles quant à leur nombre, leur profil démographique, leurs besoins essentiels ou leurs problèmes de protection.<br />
<br />
Dans leurs articles d'introduction à ce numéro de RMF, António Guterres, le Haut-Commissaire de l'ONU pour les réfugiés, et Anna Tibaijuka, Directrice exécutive d'UN-HABITAT, soulignent la complexité des défis qui attendent les personnes déplacées en milieu urbain et ceux qui cherchent à les protéger et à les aider, et affirment que la communauté internationale a besoin de repenser radicalement ses approches. Ce numéro de la Revue des Migrations Forcées comprend 26 articles rédigés par une grande diversité d'auteurs - professionnels, décideurs et chercheurs - sur le sujet du déplacement en milieu urbain, ainsi que 13 articles sur d'autres aspects de la migration forcée, y compris un article spécial sur Haïti après le séisme.</div>

<b>Extract from the Introduction : </b></div>
</div>
The Comparative Urban Studies Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center began a project in 1997 designed to both identify factors that contribute to making urban areas centers of violence and poverty and propose policy recommendations for improvements and making urban areas more sustainable. Population growth, resource stress, environmental degradation, social fragmentation, communal violence, and international crime were identified by the Center's research group as critical challenges for urban areas throughout the world. The group then concluded that ensuring that cities more effectively meet the needs of their citizens is directly related to the way in which they are governed.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
Small towns have often been considered as unimportant and have been largely ignored by policy-makers and researchers. Instead, attention was focussed on the large city or on rural development and agricultural change without consideration of the positive contribution that small towns can make to rural transformation. But for the rural majority of Africa's population it is the small town with which they have the most intense contacts. Case studies are presented from Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe.</div>

The workshop intended to explore pertinent migratory patterns and processes into urban agglomerations and examined ways how the responsible administrations attempt to cope with migration-related social consequences and problems. The focus was placed less on the reasons of migration, the motives of migrants and on the concrete living conditions upon arrival, but more on the dynamics and characteristics of migration processes themselves and the options and means to regulate or govern these processes.</div>

Aims of City Futures in a Globalising World<br />
<br />
The central aim of the Madrid Conference in 2009 is to lift the quality of international dialogue about urban issues by:<br />
<br />
* Creating a whole conference sharply focussed on international exchange.<br />
* Engaging different disciplinary perspectives and approaches.<br />
* Welcoming papers that address policy concerns – local, regional, national and international – that speak to the impact of policy on the ground. <br />
<br />
Conference Themes<br />
<br />
This conference calls for papers relating to one or more of the following themes. We welcome scholars from diverse disciplines as well as practitioners.<br />
<br />
* Climate change, resource use, and urban adaptation. How sustainable are modern cities? What policies are being introduced to tackle climate change?<br />
<br />
* Knowledge and technology in urban development. How are cities harnessing knowledge and technology to increase the quality of life for their citizens? Whither local economic development in a rapidly changing world?<br />
<br />
* Community development, migration and integration in urban areas. How are cities coping with rapid population movements – both into and out of cities? What are the implications for housing, urban regeneration and community building of international population shifts?<br />
<br />
* Urban governance and city planning in an international era. Sound city governance and urban planning are critical to urban success. What are the implications of current trends for political and managerial leadership? How should cities position themselves internationally?<br />
<br />
* Architecture and the design of the public realm. The quality of architecture and urban design affects the quality of life in cities. What innovations are taking place in urban design and planning at street level? Are cities redesigning themselves to cope with new challenges relating to, for example, public safety?</div>
