OverviewIlluminating the complex processes of China's uneven urbanization through the lens of the transition from village commons to public goods, this book is set in three urbanized villages in Shenzhen, Chengdu, and Xi'an, which have experienced similar demographic explosions and dramatic changes to their landscapes, the livelihoods of its inhabitants, and the power structures governing their residents. Graduated provision is the delivery of public goods informed by the teleological ideology of urbanization, and by neoliberalism with Chinese characteristics, and has been employed as an answer to the challenges of making public goods, such as welfare provisions, public parks, education, and senior care, equally accessible to all in recently urbanized communities.

The originality lies particularly in using the public goods/commons debates to provide a new lens on urban China. * Alan Smart, University of Calgary Urban China is an excellent setting to rethink what the commons are, as privatization and social welfare provisions compete with one another in a historical context in which the commons was the default form of governance for several decades ... The discussion is informed by a serious reading of relevant theory and is ethnographically rich. * Niko Besnier, University of Amsterdam Author InformationAnne-Christine Tremon is director of studies at the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris.
