中国经济的快速发展对城市发展用地产生了巨大的需求，带来了前所未有的城市化进程。城市化城市的扩张已经开始吞没农村地区，城乡界限在中国越来越不明显。由于城市有更好的就业机会和生活水平，农村向城市的迁移增加，城市的侵占导致农村领土迅速缩小。以农村产权机制管理的城中村开始在城市化地区零星出现。城中村改造采取了国家主导、开发商主导、集体主导等多种方式，取得了不同程度的成功。本文使用案例研究框架来分析广州两个截然不同的城中村重建案例中国家与市场的相互作用。通过对广州两个地理位置和时间相近的再生案例的深入比较分析，我们可以看到不同形式的国家与市场相互作用可能会产生截然不同的结果。研究发现，当存在许多利益相关者且各自议程不同时，旨在协调国家资源与市场力量而不是放弃国家角色的新自由主义政策方法在城中村重建中提供了更令人满意的结果。国家在这一过程中保持了良好的权力平衡，并通过明确的支持性政策和监管指导，让市场在实现项目资金流动方面更有效、更令人满意地发挥作用，这有助于实现可持续的成果。
Rapid economic development in China has generated substantial demand for urban land for development, resulting in an unprecedented urbanization process. The expansion of urbanized cities has started to engulf rural areas, making the urban–rural boundary less and less conspicuous in China. Urban encroachment has led to a rapid shrinkage of the rural territory as the rural–urban migration has increased due to better job opportunities and living standards in the urban cities. Urban villages, governed by a rural property rights mechanism, have started to emerge sporadically within urbanised areas. Various approaches, such as state-led, developer-led, or collective-led approaches, to redevelop these urban villages have been adopted with varying degrees of success. This paper uses a case-study framework to analyse the state–market interplay in two very different urban village redevelopment cases in Guangzhou. By an in-depth comparative analysis of the two regeneration cases in Guangzhou, which started within close proximity in terms of geographical location and timing, we are able to shed light on how completely different outcomes may result from different forms of state–market interplay. It is found that a neoliberal policy approach that aims at coordinating state resources with market forces rather than discarding the state’s role provides a more satisfactory outcome in urban village redevelopment when there are a lot of stakeholders involved each with different agendas. The state maintains a good balance of the power-play in the process with a clear and supportive policy and regulatory guidance, leaving the market to function more effectively and satisfactorily in effectuating capital flow for the project, which helps to achieve sustainable outcomes.
