About this product
Product Information
The Real Fake explores how the users of Thames Town--an English-like village built in Songjiang New Town near Shanghai--negotiate the notion of authenticity through their everyday social and spatial practices. Piazzoni argues that authenticity underlies the social and physical production of space through both top-down and bottom-up dynamics.

Reviews
In the case of Thames Town--a Shanghai suburb built to imitate the look and feel of a British village, combining the elements of a real estate investment opportunity and a popular tourist destination--Piazzoni finds the transplanted spirit of the original assuming an intriguing and puzzling form... The Real Fake leaves you with the sense that the resemblance goes deeper than surface appearances. It may embody more of Western reality--more of the strains on tradition and the unevenness of progress--than the designers anticipated.
