Abstract
Contributions to the special issue extend our perspective on the Chinese city beyond the spectacle. Buildings are not static bystanders; their full potential crystallises through the ideas and practices of the people that make and inhabit them. Expecting that the city will always remain the same in China or elsewhere is inappropriate; visual scholars should therefore follow and document the ongoing process of refabrication – whether this is related to specific facets, such as the aesthetics of the inner-city core, to housing estates, to urban infrastructure hubs or indeed to the intricate relationship between, and diversity of, different urban forms in the same city.
