China’s remarkable journey from poverty to becoming the world’s second-largest economic power is marked by extraordinary urban growth and consumption capacity of its urban population.

Using primary sources, statistical analyses, and illustrated case studies, the book explores the evolution of shopping malls as a consequence of China’s profound economic, social, and cultural change over the past four

Post-medieval archaeology in the Nordic countries has experienced rapid growth since the late 1990s, driven by urban development and increasing recognition of the period's importance. This volume provides a comprehensive synthesis of recent research, focusing on the region's integration into European and global networks through shifting political borders, trade, and maritime connections. Research traditions vary across the Nordic countries, influenced by differences in legislation, funding, and methodologies. While Norway's Cultural Heritage Act excludes most post-medieval sites, Sweden's 2014 reform expanded legal protections.
