A firsthand account of urban community life in 1970s China, examining how neighbourhood committees organised work, education, health care and other social services. Ruth Sidel focuses on the Fengsheng neighbourhood and the ways community participation was used to structure everyday life.

Written during the Mao era, the book offers a contemporary Western observer’s view of Chinese urban organisation, social policy and collective life. Photographs are by Victor W. Sidel.
