title: China's urban geography.
abstract: "In this paper I seek to review recent work on Chinese urban geography and to appraise the development of China's urban geography as a field of study both inside and outside China.  The temporal scope will span scholarship finished and published mainly during the 1980s."  The focus is on works published in English.  The author examines the primary topics of interest, methodologies and theories, and available sources of data.
