Abstract
Abstract It is important to recognize the existence of Extended Metropolitan Regions (EMRs) in China. This study provides a detailed investigation of three selected villages within the Shenyang-Dalian EMR. Since 1978, all three villages have experienced rapid socioeconomic transformation. Such a phenomenon is also evident in other EMRs of China and reflects one of the major features of Asian EMRs. In turn, the case studies illustrate the existence of ‘invisible urbanization’. The villages selected as case studies represent three different types of development processes. The discussion shows how locational differences of the three villages have intersected with the general transition affecting the EMR as a whole and resulted in specific social and economic features.
