In the past two decades, China’s urban life has been completely
transformed. A massive building program has created sprawling skyscraper
cities, and at the same time tens of thousands of city dwellers have been
displaced from the inner city to the outskirts. These conditions have
brought about a growing alienation between the city and its residents:
they no longer belong to each other. The works in this section both reflect
and respond to the new textures of China’s metropolitan culture.
