Abstract

AbstractIn the light of rapid urbanisation, manufacturing processes in China's Pearl River Delta are undergoing extensive change.

Among several international partners involved in the initiative is the Research and Development department at Rotterdam's Het Nieuwe Instituut, headed by Marina Otero Verzier.
