From 2010 to 2012, the author conducted over 120 qualitative interviews with migrants of all categories - voluntary and involuntary, blue collar and white collar, domestic and international, and migrant groups of high risk. The research was administered in the Pearl River Delta (Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan) as part of a larger research program on informal dynamics of megacity development funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The study contributes to the current debates on restricting or encouraging migration to Chinese megacities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 24, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53753907675443,"sku":"9789811275678","price":165.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/vbFftx6ubB9789811275678_af77361c-973e-4882-a9c2-3ad6ed7683ac.webp?v=1785295711","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/migrants-in-chinese-megacities-hardcover-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
