With a rich collection of original essays and projects, this book combines reflexive knowledge, critical imagination, and design experimentation to provide scenarios for Chinese suburban development.

Massive urban growth in today's China transforms the Central Plains, a region historically dominated by agriculture. The book examines the extensive suburbanization and the construction of new rural settlements, highlighting the significant changes to agricultural landscapes and the emergence of new towns. Through this lens, it provides insights into the socio-economic impacts and environmental implications of these rapid developments in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
