Abstract

“Village in the city” is a social phenomenon in urbanization in China. They mostly appear in the downtown and outskirts segments of cities like Shenzhen or Guangzhou. Urban villages are a special phenomenon created by China’s urbanization efforts. In contrast to conventional rural and urban communities, urban villages pose many challenges to the growth of the current urban economy and society. The article introduces the origin and characteristics of urban villages and reveal the obstacles they create to city development: the exorbitant building density, occupancy of central city areas, the inharmonious visual effect on city sightseeing and so on. This paper demonstrates the possible solutions and the existing barriers in the process of redevelopments, such as the compensation for urban villagers, the sluggish progress of social improvements, and the distinct differences between rural areas and urban areas. Realizing the necessity and difficulty of redevelopment, related policies and actions in the rebuilding and developing “urban villages”, villagers’ social security, villagers’ transformation into citizens, social management, and environmental construction should be implemented by the government. By making progress on the internal and external sides of urban villages, the problems might be solved in the near future.
