Il libro esplora l’influenza dell’architettura occidentale in Cina dalla metà del XIX secolo fino ai giorni nostri e riflette sul rapporto tratradizione e innovazione nel paese. Dalle analisi e studi condotti con il prezioso contributo di esperti della cultura cinese emergono una serie di osservazioni sul complesso processo di modernizzazione che ha portato la Cina e l'Occidente più vicini. Questo fenomeno, insieme ad altri, è stato un elemento propulsore della trasformazione delle città cinesi contemporanee. Il testo, infine, affronta la questione del patrimonio storico urbano come valore imprescindibile della cultura millenaria cinese.
