The main objective is to explore the governance of urban restructuring processes as an interplay of physical redevelopment and economic upgrading policies of various stakeholders in the course of China’s transition as complementary contribution to a theory of informal mega-urban dynamics in the making. The urban governance approach is focused on the analyis of policies of arenas which undergo economic and physical restructuring in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. These arenas are of growing importance as the PRD is more and more developing into a region we call “maturing mega-urban region”.This maturing mega-region currently witnesses a massive shift from a mere focus on growth and spatial expansion towards restructuring of the existing urban fabric and its economic structures away from cheap labour-intensive production towards a more knowledge-based economy. This policy shift has been going on for some years already, but got a massive push due to the consequence of the global financial crisis. In this context, it will be aimed to imbed the restructuring policies into a wider explanatory framework of differentiated urban governance with special focus on the role of urban informality and aspects of changes over time. Further, the results will be scaled up from the local level and compared to formal and informal dynamics of mega-urban development with a special focus on urban governance settings in the PRD and Dhaka. Derived from this we finally aim at contributing to the theoretical debate about urban informality and the role of global change.

其主要目标是探讨城市结构调整过程中的治理，作为中国转型过程中各利益相关者的物质再开发和经济升级政策的相互作用，作为对非正式特大城市动力学理论的补充贡献。城市治理方法的重点是分析广州和深圳正在经历经济和物质结构调整的竞技场的政策。随着珠江三角洲逐渐发展成为一个我们称之为“成熟的特大城市区域”，这些领域的重要性日益增加。这个成熟的特大区域目前正经历着巨大的转变，从单纯的增长和空间扩展转向重组现有的城市结构和经济结构，从廉价劳动密集型生产转向更以知识为基础的经济。这一政策转变已经持续了几年，但由于全球金融危机的后果而受到了巨大的推动。在此背景下，其目标是将结构调整政策纳入差别化城市治理的更广泛的解释性框架，并特别关注城市非正规性的作用和随着时间的推移而发生的变化。此外，将从地方一级扩大评估结果，并将其与特大城市发展的正式和非正式动态进行比较，特别关注珠三角和达卡的城市治理环境。从这一点出发，我们最终的目标是有助于对城市非正规性和全球变化的作用的理论辩论。
