Focusing on Shenzhen as a representation of the general urban
village phenomenon in China, this book considers the impact of
China's economic reform on urbanization and urban villages over the
past three decades. Shenzhen's urban villages are some of the first
of their kind in China, unique in their diversity and
organizational capacity, but most notably in their ability to
protect village culture whilst coexisting with Shenzhen, one of the
fastest urbanizing cities on earth. Providing a study of regional
contrast of urban villages in China with newly collected fieldwork
materials from Guangzhou, Beijing, and Xi'an, this book also
considers recent developments within urban villages, including
attempts at marketization of the so-called xiao chanquanfang (the
quintessential urban village apartment units). It also addresses
the corruption scandals that engulfed some urban villages in late
2013. Through cutting edge fieldwork, the author offers a
cross-disciplinary study of the history, culture, socio-economic
changes, and migration of the villages which arguably embody
Chinese social mobility in an urban form.
