The Real Fake: Authenticity And The Production Of Space (Polis: Fordham Series In Urban Studies)

The Real Fake explores how the users of Thames Town--an English-like village built in Songjiang New Town near Shanghai--negotiate the notion of authenticity through their everyday social and spatial practices. Piazzoni argues that authenticity underlies the social and physical production of space through both top-down and bottom-up dynamics.
