Summary:

"Can we represent the contemporary city when urban conditions are taken to the extreme? How should we approach territorial dynamics and the multi-dimensional tensions that spread across the surface of the urban scape? Because of its particular history and geography, Hong Kong represents a unique synthesis of both global city and local territory. The question of space and place, and the specific pressure of accelerated time, make Hong Kong a moving platform of exchange within the Asian and world markets. [This book] uses Hong Kong as a prototype for a new critical experiment"--Back cover
