Summary:

"The Making and Selling of Post-Mao Beijing" by Anne-Marie Broudehoux examines the transformation of Beijing during the final decades of the twentieth century, focusing on the city's efforts to modernize and market itself. Through four case studies—including the refurbishment of Yuanmingyuan, the commercial redevelopment of Wangfujing, and preparations for the 2008 Olympic bid—the book explores how urban image construction serves both as a tool for state power and a potential avenue for opposition groups to challenge authority. Broudehoux's analysis provides insight into the complex interplay between urban development, political agendas, and social change in contemporary China.
