Author: Sigrun Langner, Yuting Xie, Maria Frölich-Kulik, Yulin Zhang, Karl Beelen
This book reveals topologies within the changing landscape of the Yongning river plain in China. It explores the interwoven relationships between the cultural meanings of places associated with water, the ecological conditions of a water-based landscape, techno-natural water infrastructures, water practices, & rapid urbanisation processes in a formerly rural landscape. Visually narrative yet analytic in focus, the volume draws on historical cartographic records and extensive empirical field data.The authors carefully weave together cartographic narratives about land use and industrialisation, water scarcity, housing resettlements, and state administrative redistricting practices. This careful re-reading of the landscape raises questions about the sustainable water-based future development of the rurban landscape of the Yongning river plain.
