UC#33 Creative China | cover

Urban China#33 is out! The special ‘Creative China: Counter-Mapping the Creative Industries’ issue was guest-edited by Mónica Carriço, Bert de Muynck and Ned Rossiter; and designed by Hendrik-Jan Grievink.

The magazine is in Chinese (with select texts published in English). An overview, including all texts in English, is available at our project website: OrgNets.net. Also visit the Urban China#33-page on MovingCities for a summary of the content and background to this issue.

It may be possible to request copies throughout China and abroad, though the issue has sold rapidly and is in limited supply. For detailed information on how to order this issue, see UC#33 OrgNets ordering page.
