Fitst edition, 2 volumes, 8vo, pp. 340, [4]; 244; both volumes illustrated throughout, much in color; fine copies in original pictorial laminate bopards and publisher's slipcase. Second volume titled Positions: Portrait of New Generation of Chinese Architects. "Beijing hosts the summer 2008 Olympic Games, followed by the 2010 Universal Exposition in Shanghai.

It then explores 8 cities: diverse megalopolises including popular Shanghai and Beijing, famous Suzhou and Xi an, the unknown conurbian between Canton and Shenzhen on the Pearl River, and the emerging Chongqin with the gigantic three Gorges Dam Project" (back cover blurb).
