Since the 1990s, the urban landscape of China has witnessed revolutionary changes that are unrivalled in any country of the world throughout history. Rapid urbanization, facilitated by the modern planning mechanism for growth, provides a feast for property developers. Yet, associated urban problems such as housing affordability, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and environmental deterioration are aggravated. This book takes a historic approach to investigate the planning philosophy, urban form and life of the past. Through a detailed study of urban development from early times through the imperial period with a focus on the Tang-Song dynasties, this book attempts to articulate the good qualities of urban landscapes from the past that still have instructive value for modern practices. The focus on the Tang-Song period is not only because China was the most advanced civilization of its time, but also because it underwent a similar process of "urbanization", evident by tremendous economic growth, a dramatic rise of urban population, and an extended building boom. Through evaluating the streets, city layout, public places, urban communities, houses and gardens, and using interdisciplinary research in urban planning, urban design, architecture, history, and cultural studies, this book asserts that the past is quintessentially important. The past not only truthfully records the course of social and cultural formation of urban community and its associated physical fabric, but also regulates the directions we may take in the future.

DOGS LOVE
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
My dogs love it! I buy as gifts too as it’s always appreciated. Easy squeak and fun to bounce with all the sides. My dogs chew until they crack & still squeak for a bit. When eventually squeak stops my dogs still return to it. They seem to love just for the air sounds. I personally appreciates that more than the squeak but what do I know? I’m not a dog.6

Great, but they don't last.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
Our dog absolutely loves these things. However, they get punctured or form a crack on a seam with very little use. This time it only took a couple of hours of play. Once this happens, they no longer squeak. This may sound weird, but the heart shape seems worse for this defect.

Her favorite
Style: Tipsy Rosé
Our weimaraner Gracie loves her wine glass. Whenever it's empty she drops it in front of us to have it refilled. It's very durable and cute, it's easy to fill plus she has no trouble carrying it around. We'll be getting another so she doesn't have to continue to hide it from our other girl. It's quite obviously her favorite.
