Where:
Drawing from her forthcoming book, The Great Urban Transformation: Politics of Property in China (Oxford University Press), Professor Hsing will compare two types of politics of distribution in two types of villages: "villages in the city" in southern metropolises, and relocated villages in less industrialized areas in the north. While both have undergone large-scale land conversion and expropriation, the territorial results diverge greatly in the two cases.
