“…Such transformation is understood as “postsocialist transition” by scholars. China represents a particular case of postsocialist transition which on the one hand seeks to boost the domestic economy through the introduction of marketization, and on the other hand adheres to the socialist values and doctrines left by Mao Zedong (Herrschel, ) since the enactment in 1978 of the “open and reform policy” (the Reform), which aimed at establishing the strategies of domestic economic reform and the opening up of China internationally through introducing capital markets into the socialist economic system.…”

This article explores the concept of sustainability in a postsocialist context through an analysis of official discourses relating to sustainability in more than 700 articles published in the Chinese‐language newspaper People's Daily in 2015. The Chinese conception of sustainability, which emerges as a top‐down model built upon traditional ideologies and Chinese socialist legacies, inclusive of economic growth, environmental sustainability, social justice and quality of life. This Chinese official discourse of sustainability places less emphasis on individuals' rights and more on the state's interests, and is encompassed in the Chinese concept of the “ecological civilization.” This article argues that if we are to build a full picture of the internationalized idea of sustainability we need to adopt a more international approach to thinking about the issue, drawing upon the sustainability‐related discourses constructed from different national contexts using local languages and rhetoric.

“…The papers in this special issue therefore aim to reflect on the 20 years or so of 'post-socialism' and how the various shifts from state socialism have articulated with transformations in urban and regional systems across the region. Indeed, linking spatial transformations with how we theorize postsocialism has enabled the development of a rich lineage in work (see, inter alia, Pickles and Smith, 1998;Rainnie et al, 2002;Bradshaw and Stenning, 2004;Herrschel, 2007 The collapse of state socialism was, of course, one of the momentous and life-transforming moments in the history of the world. It led to a 'post-ing' of socialism in which the Soviet-style statist models of development adopted across Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union became in large part de-legitimized, at the same time as it worked to underpin the hegemony of neoliberal capitalism.…”

Over the course of history, relatively slow and gradual processes of urbanisation are occasionally interrupted by periods of turbulent restructuring. The post-socialist transition is defi nitely one of the most outstanding examples of these changes, directly aff ecting the lives of over 300 million people. Within the confi nes of this succinct theoretical recapitulation, fi rstly, the relationship between capitalist and socialist urbanisation -as a broader conceptual frame -is presented, followed by the brief summary of the post-socialist transition's general characteristics. Subsequently, the specifi cities of the urban structure of socialist and post-socialist cities are subsumed, and fi nally, diff erent scenarios and development perspectives for post-socialist cities are outlined.
