Coping strategies of rural migrant workers in China during and after the pandemic
Telecommuting amid Covid-19
Migration and consumption among poor rural households in China
Home in the big city
Existing literature has uncovered housing divergence between migrants and locals in urban China, but has neglected the increasing diversity of migrants’ places of origin and its association with their housing opportunities. Based on a survey on the post-80s generation in Shanghai, this paper investigates the impact of residents’ place of origin on their housing outcomes. The results suggest that access to homeownership is a function of the positi…

Spatial Analysis
Spatial analysis is a set of techniques for deriving new information and knowledge from spatial data. It is distinguished from other types of analysis because the results of spatial analysis are dependent on the locations of the objects being analyzed. Spatial analysis is useful for gaining an understanding of where geographic features and phenomena are located and the spatial relationship or spatial interactions between the features and phenomen…

What keeps China’s floating population from moving
Research on China’s internal migration has mostly focused on moving rather than staying. Urban destinations of migrants are often seen as discrete points of economic opportunity in space, exerting a magnetic force on the rural population from the countryside. But after commencing their urban lives, rural migrants start to perceive their host cities and towns as places that entail value and meaning, which may encourage them to settle. This paper e…
The return intentions of China’s rural migrants
A considerable proportion of China's rural-to-urban migrants today are not able to formally settle in one location. Whether these migrants stay in the city or return to their rural homes has important ramifications for the country's demographic and economic changes. Using data from a recent survey in Nanjing and Suzhou, this article explores the settlement and return intentions of rural migrants. It is found that although most rural migrants do n…
Anyway, you are an outsider’
In this paper, we extend recent discussions on the relationship with the host place of ‘temporary’ or non- hukou migrants in major Chinese cities through the lens of three psychological processes: familiarity, attachment and identity. The empirical analysis is based on fieldwork conducted in selected villages-in-the-city in Guangzhou. A mixed methods approach is employed. The findings highlight the emotional distance between temporary migrants an…
Migration destinations in the urban hierarchy in China
Over the past quarter century, the mobilization of the human resources stored in China's rural hinterland has propelled the country's economic boom and urban explosion. Whereas the “first‐tier” cities and a couple dozen provincial capitals exert a strong pull on rural citizens, towns and cities in the middle and lower orders of the urban hierarchy also attract tens of millions of rural migrants. The pattern of migration and the settlement intenti…

Peri-urban agricultural development in Beijing
Agriculture in peri-urban areas is prone to dynamic changes due to urban influences. Previous studies have explored the impact of urban growth on peri-urban agriculture (PUA), but the active responses of the agricultural sector are rarely examined. This paper investigates recent agricultural development practices in peri-urban Beijing and explores approaches to agricultural transformation in the rapid process of urbanisation. The investigation fi…
The effects of residential patterns and Chengzhongcun housing on segregation in Shenzhen
As cities in China undergo growth and transformation, they continue to absorb migrants from both ends of the economic spectrum, giving rise to socially mixed cities. As this occurs, the cities experience an elevated level of residential segregation due to the emergence of new forms of enclave urbanism, such as gated communities and chengzhongcun (villages-in-the-city). Factors including historical legacy, land institutions, and property-led devel…
Economic clusters
Economic clusters have been recognised as important elements of urban and regional economic strategies, but their role in spatial planning is under-appreciated. This paper examines the initiatives and outcomes of economic clusters in relation to urban spatial planning in the periods of planned and market economies in China. Through an examination of the planning and development practices in Beijing, the effect of economic clusters in facilitating…
A conceptual framework on modes of governance for the regeneration of Chinese ‘villages in the city’
China’s rapid urbanisation has created a special form of urban built environment known as ‘village in the city’ (ViC). Various governance approaches have been applied to redevelop ViCs, which are prevalent in big cities. However, owing to the specific conditions of ViCs and the diverse contexts of urban development within and across cities, those approaches remain largely case-specific and are hampered by a lack of guiding principles. This articl…
Floating or settling down
The industrialization and urban development in China have driven a huge portion of the rural population to its urban areas. While discriminating institutions engendered by the hukou system exclude most rural migrants from urban rights and benefits, the option of converting hukou has become increasingly available. Nevertheless, few rural migrants have chosen to settle down in cities by obtaining an urban hukou, which contradicts a common perceptio…
What Drives the Spatial Development of Urban Villages in China
China’s dramatic urban expansion has encompassed many peri-urban villages and turned them into so-called urban villages that provide a niche housing market for rural migrants for whom the formal housing market is unaffordable. Yet urban villages are very distinct from informal settlements elsewhere, because they are being developed by the original village community on collectively owned land. As these communities cannot sell their land and only b…
Spatial Analyses of the Urban Village Development Process in Shenzhen, China
Urban villages are widespread in many Chinese cities, providing affordable and accessible housing for rural migrants. These urban villages develop rapidly over time to create more housing units and accommodate increasing numbers of residents. This article provides systematic analyses of urban village development in Shenzhen in the period 1999-2009. It reveals that the development of urban villages was driven by the overall planning and urban grow…
The Land-Use Diversity in Urban Villages in Shenzhen
China's dynamic urbanisation since 1978 has led to the proliferation of so-called 'urban villages' in many cities. Their development, via a self-help approach by indigenous villagers, delivers low-cost housing and various other social and economic activities. Consequently, urban villages are characterised by growing numbers of buildings and a mix of functions, including residential, industrial, commercial, and public services. These uses enable d…
