SUMMARY:Confucius Insitute Talk: Everyday Matters - Urbanisation and Sani
 tation in China

DESCRIPTION:This talk is about the different ways in which every day hygi
 ene practices in urban China influence how long-term residents\, newcome
 rs from the rural countryside and other groups in the city get along. Dr
  Deljana Iossifova (University of Manchester) will present how communiti
 es practiced sanitation and how cities handled night soil in recent hist
 ory. Today\, to match what is expected from ‘world-class’ cities\, China
  relies largely on sanitation infrastructure similar to that in the West
 . However\, as the country undergoes so-called ‘high-speed urbanisation’
 \, not all cities and not all urban areas within cities can keep up with
  the speed of modernisation. Pockets of poverty remain and often coincid
 e with pockets of outdated (in the eyes of city planners) sanitation inf
 rastructures. We will explore how the coexistence of the old and the new
 \; the poor and the rich\; the traditional and the modern is experienced
  in the everyday of urban residents and how these experiences shape how 
 people in China’s dense cities live together.\n
