By relating the state rescaling processes to the issues of urban entrepreneurialism and urban spatial forms, this paper also looks at the urban-geographical changes that have taken place in the city centre during the late 1990s as well as its regional growth over the past two decades. / In the Chinese political-economic context, rescaling of state spaces is the crux of its 'urban' question. As the Guilin case reveals, while place-specific attributes are being mobilized towards local development, rescaled state institutions as well as a multi-scalar policy-making framework have largely determined its post-reform developmental trajectory. / Since the late 1970s when China adopted the reform and opening-up policy, tourism-based urban growth has stimulated a new type of politico-economic geography in some parts of the country. Based on the case study of a leading Chinese tourist city, namely Guilin, this paper examines how a series of state spatial processes have shaped its urban-regional development through to the new millennium. / 張丞國. / Adviser: Tai Lok Lui. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 72-10, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (p.187-207). / Electronic reproduction.
