The great migration of farmers leaving rural China to work and live
in big cities as 'floaters' has been an on-going debate in China
for the past three decades. This book probes into the spatial
mobility of migrant workers in Beijing, and questions the city
'rights' issues beneath the city-making movement in contemporary
China. In revealing and explaining the socio-spatial injustice,
this volume re-theorizes the 'right to the city' in the Chinese
context since Deng Xiaoping's reforms. The policy review, census
analysis, and housing survey are conducted to examine the fate of
migrant workers, who being the most marginalized group have to move
persistently as the city expands and modernizes itself. The study
also compares the migrant workers with local Pekinese dislocated by
inner city renewals and city expansion activities. Rapid urban
growth and land expropriation of peripheral farmlands have also
created a by-product of urbanization, an informal property
development by local farmers in response to rising low-cost rental
housing demand. This is a highly comparable phenomenon with cities
in other newly industrialized countries, such as Sao Paulo. Readers
will be provided with a good basis in understanding the interplay
as well as conflicts between migrant workers' housing rights and
China's globalizing and branding pursuits of its capital city.
Audience: This book will be of great interest to researchers and
policy makers in housing planning, governance towards urban
informalities, rights to the city, migrant control and management,
and housing-related conflict resolutions in China today.
