University at Albany, SUNY, Albany, NY, USA.
Self-description:
"A multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional network of scholars [est.
1999 - ed.] conducting and supporting research on urbanization in
contemporary China. A joint venture between the Lewis Mumford Center
and the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis (CSDA) [...]. Its
purpose is to strengthen contacts and collaboration among
international scholars with interests in urban China. [...] The Urban
China Research Network is developing an archive of [digitized] maps of China's
major cities. [...] For two cities, Shanghai and Tianjin, it will also
provide a link to downloadable GIS maps [in ArcView and MapInfo
formats - ed.] and information at the subdistrict level. We intend to
extend this data archive to all major cities, one at a time, and we
welcome offers of assistance for any city."
