ePub Mastering Monologues and Acting Sides: How to Audition Successfully for Both Traditional and New Media by Janet Wilcox in Arts-Photography

Description

This edited volume covers the multiple changes concerning urban governance in the course of the progressive transformation of the Pearl River Delta mega-urban region in China. Looking at the megacities Guangzhou and Shenzhen; it analyzes the maturing of socio-economic; political and spatial structures after the first waves of economic globalization; political transformation; and their rapid expansion and urbanization. The initial claim and starting point of the book is the existence of a profound multidimensional shift in the coastal mega-urban region with a major tendency towards urban upgrading; economic restructuring and a clearly observable consolidation of political institutions. For the first time since the beginning of the reform and opening up after 1978; this has led to a stronger bias toward urban regeneration; an adaptive re-use of the building stock and an establishment of post-industrial knowledge-based creative industries. The book investigates these changes as a set of mutually dependent developments that have to be understood and analyzed in connection with one another. Thus; the backgrounds and underlying forces that shape physical restructuring in the developed urban cores of the mega-urban region and the ways in which the relevant actors and institutions are trying to both cope with and to influence each other are introduced here.
