项目摘要

Our ESRC-DFID project on the development of migrant villages under China's rapid urbanization reveals the value of these informal settlements and advocates an in situ approach to village redevelopment. These villages are developed informally but provide a valuable source of affordable housing to the low-income population. Many villages in rural areas are affected by the process of urbanization. The transition from a rural village to an urban residential area is in fact a dynamic process. Depending upon their location, these villages present a full spectrum from rural to urban settlements. While our previous research focuses on peri-urban areas, there is an emerging opportunity to examine villages in the urban and rural environments. Related to this research, we are witnessing some concurrent changes in urban policies in rural settlement redevelopment. Jiangsu province is implementing a village improvement programme that adopts an incremental regeneration approach, while Guangdong province has promulgated the renewal of old urban areas, villages and factories (so-called 'three olds renewal', sanjiu gaizao). This impact and engagement project will select one village from Jiangsu and one from Guangdong to benchmark the practice of village improvement with our principle of in situ regeneration and present them as a demonstration project so as to fully develop the potential of sustainable urban regeneration in Chinese cities as well as cities in the Global South. As our original research project provided evidence-based social science research to demonstrate the imperative of in situ regeneration, this project supports 'research uptake' to translate the research findings and principles into a more prescriptive policy instrument. Towards this end, we will develop a village improvement toolkit, with concrete examples from these two pilot villages. The toolkit will explore in detail the critical elements - land, capital and residents - in realising sustainable redevelopment. This approach will benefit the poor and extend some viable local practices which are being demonstrated in China today. While policy practices are context-sensitive and might not be transferable, the research impacts generated here will present new possibilities for cross-fertilizing the experience of the Global South. To facilitate cross-country learning, the project will organize an impact workshop in London with the participation of policy users from Jiangsu and Guangdong as well as national policy research institute and professional planning organisations. Potential users from international development communities will also be invited to participate. The project will maintain a website to accommodate a photo archive of these pilot projects and a manual for pro-poor regeneration to enhance research impacts. The project aims to collect the best practices in the two major provinces to explore their potential for developing a new pathway to urbanization in China. There is an emerging opportunity for extending the impact to wider national practices, as China has adopted 'new styles of urbanization' as its national development strategy.

我们关于在中国快速城市化下的移民村庄发展的ESRC-DFID项目揭示了这些非正式定居点的价值，并提倡对乡村重建的原地方法。这些村庄是非正式开发的，但为低收入人口提供了有价值的经济适用房源。农村地区的许多村庄都受到城市化过程的影响。实际上，从乡村到城市居民区的过渡实际上是一个动态的过程。根据其位置，这些村庄展示了从农村到城市定居点的完整范围。尽管我们以前的研究重点是城市周边地区，但有一个新兴的机会来检查城市和农村环境中的村庄。与这项研究相关，我们目睹了农村定居重建的城市政策的一些同时变化。江苏省正在实施一项采用增量再生方法的村庄改善计划，而广东省则颁布了旧城市地区，村庄和工厂的更新（所谓的“三个古老的更新”，sanjiu gaizao）。这个影响力和参与项目将从江苏（Jiangsu）选择一个村庄，从广东（Guangdong）选择一个村庄，以我们的原位再生原则为村庄改善的实践，并将其作为示范项目展示，以充分发展中国城市可持续城市的潜力以及全球南方的城市。当我们的原始研究项目提供基于证据的社会科学研究以证明原位再生的必要性时，该项目支持“研究吸收”，将研究结果和原理转化为更具规定的政策工具。为此，我们将开发一个乡村改善工具包，并提供这两个飞行员村庄的具体例子。该工具包将在实现可持续的重建方面详细探讨重要要素 - 土地，资本和居民。这种方法将使穷人受益，并扩展一些当今中国正在证明的可行的地方实践。尽管政策实践对上下文敏感，并且可能无法转移，但此处产生的研究影响将为使用全球南方的经验提供新的可能性。为了促进越野学习，该项目将在江苏和广东的政策用户以及国家政策研究所和专业规划组织的政策用户参与下组织一个影响研讨会。国际发展社区的潜在用户也将被邀请参加。该项目将维护一个网站，以容纳这些试点项目的照片档案，并提供凭借贫民再生的手册，以增强研究影响。该项目旨在收集两个主要省份的最佳实践，以探索其在中国开发新城市化途径的潜力。随着中国采用“新风格的城市化”作为其国家发展战略，将有一个新兴的机会扩展对更广泛的国家实践的影响。
