Thomas J. Campanella, PhD, Associate Director
Thomas J. Campanella is associate professor of city and regional planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and
a fellow of the Institute for the Arts and Humanities at UNC. He holds a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
an MLA from Cornell University. He has taught at MIT and the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and was a Fulbright fellow at
the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Campanella has been going to China since 1992, when he helped teach a joint urban planning
studio between MIT and Tsinghua University in Beijing. Since then he has spent more than five years in the region, most recently
as a visiting lecturer at the Nanjing University School of Architecture. In 2007 he and Yan Song co-taught a Study Abroad
course on globalization and urbanization in China, leading fifteen University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill undergraduates to four Chinese cities—Hong Kong,
Shenzhen, Xi'an, and Shanghai.
Campanella's most recent book, The Concrete Dragon: China's Urban Revolution and What it Means for the World (Princeton Architectural Press, 2008), is one of the first general studies of Chinese urbanization in the West. Yale University sinologist Jonathan Spence called The Concrete Dragon "a fascinating and timely book that sets the scene for any further discussion of China's explosive urban growth across the last twenty years." Eminent British urbanist Sir Peter Hall writes: "Anyone interested in contemporary cities, anyone interested in contemporary China, has to read it." Campanella's earlier work includes Republic of Shade: New England and the American Elm (Yale University Press, 2003); and Cities From the Sky: An Aerial Portrait of America (Princeton Architectural Press, 2001). He is also co-editor, with Lawrence Vale, of The Resilient City: How Modern Cities Recover from Disaster (Oxford University Press, 2005). Campanella is a recipient of the John Reps Prize from the Society for American City and Regional Planning History and the Spiro Kostof Book Award from the Society of Architectural Historians.
