What rights and whose rights count? Housing activism in urban redevelopment in Shenzhen
The politics of spatial inclusion in Chinese urban redevelopment is largely dominated by the state, developers and owners. Tenants lacking property rights are typically considered passive victims with little agency. Linking the discourse of “right to the city” to China's urban redevelopment processes, this paper argues that urban villages are spatial products of broader deficits in the rights to appropriate and participate. Our empirical data foc…
Taxi , Chilli and Mobile Party Branch: Reterritorialization of Migrants in Urban Villages, Shenzhen
In China as well as in other countries, migrants often grapple with urban inequities by actively reshaping the functions and meanings of their environments. While acknowledging established frameworks such as place‐making and urban informality, this study adopts a complementary lens, framing migrants’ everyday practices as a process of reterritorialization. This research employs an in‐depth case study of a representative urban village in Shenzhen,…
Situational neighborliness: Negotiating relocation and exclusion within Shenzhen’s evolving urban villages
This research examines the neighborhood relationships experienced by migrants in a rapidly developing Chinese city—Shenzhen. Adopting a multi-sited ethnographic approach centered on the substandard and precarious environments of urban villages, the study captures agencies through which migrants establish, sustain, and mobilize neighborhood relationships throughout their trajectories of intra-city mobility. The findings reveal the emergence of sit…
Beyond the liver: Well-being as the bridge between fatigue and quality of life in chronic hepatitis B patients
Background Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a significant public health challenge. Many CHB patients experience fatigue and impaired mental health, affecting their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study investigates the relationships between fatigue, well-being, and HRQoL, while identifying risk factors for poor well-being in CHB patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 428 CHB patients. HRQoL, fatigue, and well-b…
From displacement to displaceability: State‐led gentrification in China’s urban villages
This paper explores the nuanced dynamics of displacement under state‐led gentrification through the concept of displaceability , using Shenzhen’s urban villages as empirical cases. Whereas earlier gentrification involved large‐scale demolition and immediate physical eviction, current urban renewal strategies employ incremental, policy‐driven redevelopment aimed at formalising informal settlements into quasi‐public housing. Through detailed analys…

Two relocation strategies: Preserving erstwhile neighbourhood relationships in Shenzhen
Do marrying later and parenting later affect happiness? Analysis of data from the Chinese General Social Survey
We investigated whether marrying and parenting later influences people's happiness. Data were sourced from the Chinese General Social Survey 2017, with an average age when marrying of 25.34 years and an average age when becoming a parent of 27.03 years. Analysis showed that, compared to parenting later, those parenting at a younger age were happier. However, the effect of age at marriage on later happiness was not significant. Further, the effect…
