UAP Professor and Director of the Urban Affairs program, Jill Simone Gross was recently published in Cities: The International Journal of Urban Policy and Planning. Her work, co-authored with Hank V. Savitch and Lin Ye, titled, Do Chinese cities break the global mold? investigates the significance of China’s new-found globalism.

Professor Gross wrote about a similar subject for the Journal of Urban Affairs in the article titled, “Asia and the Pacific Rim: The New Peri-Urbanization and Urban Theory” with Lin Ye and Richard Legates. She also participated in the Second International Conference on Regional and Urban Development last month at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China where urban clusters and regional development were discussed through the lens of contemporary public administration.
