与许多其他发展中国家一样,中国出现了大量人口涌入城市以及城市扩张的情况。由于制度限制,城市中大量农村移民的存在并没有导致贫民窟或棚户区的出现。在没有政府帮助的情况下,许多城市出现了城中村,为农村移民提供了足够且负担得起的住房。然而,城中村遭到政策制定者的排斥,并面临激进的拆迁再开发计划,以将其替换为正规的城市社区。本文探讨了深圳城中村发展和再开发的不同层面。通过结合城市的发展实践,发现城中村的物质和社会经济演变是原住民和农村移民在面对快速经济发展和社会转型时自然而合理的反应结果。因此,政府采取的拆迁 - 再开发方式不仅对农村移民,而且对很大程度上依赖劳动密集型产业的城市经济都将是毁灭性的。探索诸如升级或提供村级发展指导等替代措施的机会确实存在,并且可以加以探索。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
China, like many other developing countries, has seen a huge influx of population into its cities coupled with urban expansion. The presence of massive numbers of rural migrants in cities does not result in slums or squatters due to institutional constraints. In the absence of government help, urban villages have evolved in many cities to provide adequate and affordable housing for the rural migrants. However, the urban villages are rejected by policy-makers and face aggressive demolition redevelopment programmes to replace them with formal urban neighbourhoods. This article explores different dimensions of the development and redevelopment of urban villages in Shenzhen. By linking to the development practice of the city, the physical and socio-economic evolution of urban villages is found to be a result of the natural and logical response of the indigenous village population and the rural migrants in facing rapid economic development and social transition. Therefore, the demolition-redevelopment approach adopted by the government would be devastating not only for the rural migrants but also for the city's economy which is largely based on labour-intensive sectors. Opportunities to explore alternative responses such as upgrading or the provision of village level development guidance do exist and could be explored. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
