“…The Blue Book of Society 2019 analysed the causes of various mass incidents in recent years and reported that the mass incidents caused by land expropriation and demolition accounted for more than 50% of the total number of incidents [11]. This finding is supported by evidence of many conflicts in urban regeneration projects over the past ten years, including self-immolations [12], violent demolitions [10], banner protests [4] and nail households [13]. The Yangjiaping demolition incident in Chongqing, the Yihuang self-immolation incident in Jiangxi and the Hongshan village regeneration incident in Wuhan have had many extremely negative effects on the respective cities because of the fierce conflict among the various stakeholders involved.…”

“…It was found that government supervision was the most critical factor [21]. Several scholars have also identified other factors that cause stakeholder conflicts, including poor communication of information [22], an inadequate conflict management system [23], insufficient channels for public participation [24], immature project management [25], insufficient capacity of developers [9] and differences in resource mastery [12].…”

Urban regeneration, as an important way to enhance urban sustainable development capacity, is advancing at a high speed in China. However, urban regeneration involves various stakeholders, and there are frequent conflicts between these stakeholders due to the vast differences in their interests. When conflicts among stakeholders are not effectively controlled, they can have serious negative social and economic impacts, such as increased pressure on the government to maintain stability, increased costs to developers and reduced willingness of property owners to participate. These are all critical factor affecting the sustainability of urban regeneration. Therefore, this paper explored the mechanism underlying stakeholder conflict conduction in urban regeneration. Next, a literature review and case study were conducted to identify key conflict factors. Then, the factors of stakeholder conflict were assessed using questionnaire survey. Finally, the structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the pathways of stakeholder conflict conduction in urban regeneration; and 35 conflict conduction paths were found. Based on Pareto’s Law, 7 of the 35 stakeholder conflict paths were identified as critical paths with coefficients between 0.245–0.364. Empirical results revealed that different types of conflict factors have different impacts on stakeholder conflict conduction, among which interest distribution and stakeholder coordination were the critical factors to be considered. The findings provide alternatives Social-Based Solutions (SBS) for resolving stakeholder conflicts and provide practical guidance for integrating stakeholders, which is important to ensuring the sustainability of urban regeneration.

“…From 2000 to 2010, the urban population increased by 46%, and built-up areas increased by 65%. The rate of urbanization in China increased from 36% in 2000 to 54% in 2013 [29,30]. Accordingly, each one percentage point increase in the rate of urbanization will require 670,000 hectares of extremely limited urban land [1].…”

The Chinese dual land use system (DLUS) has played a crucial role in the industrialization of China since 1950s. However, this dual system caused/causes obstacles in urban development under the new market economic conditions. This paper presents an approach to assess the social-economic risks during urban development in China by integrating the strategic environment assessment (SEA) principle into the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. In the proposed approach, SEA principles are set as the influencing factors in AHP. Fuzzy AHP is used to assess the relative importance degree of the six principles in SEA. To illustrate the application procedure of the proposed approach, a building collapse incident in Wenzhou is used as a case for the risk analysis. The assessment results show that the index of the manage system has the greatest importance to social-economic risk. The principle of sustainable development (A) and monitoring measures (E) have more importance than the other principles in SEA. It can be concluded that the DLUS in the market management of China may be responsible for building collapse incidents in rural areas. It is suggested that the principles of sustainable development and monitoring measures in SEA should be strictly implemented during urbanization, and it is recommended that the government establish a unified management system and ensure the effective implementation of sustainable urbanization.

“…This is the case of the well-known regeneration process of Tianzifan in Shanghai (Yung, Chan, and Xu 2014). However, Tianzifan is still more an exception rather than the norm, although the Chinese government is increasingly showing this adaptive strategy where intense dialogues between stakeholders can take place, as in the controversial case of Enning Road in Guangzhou (Tan and Altrock 2016). Overall, there is wide international consensus that effective community involvement in urban transformation and upgrading would result at least in the sharing of some economic benefits, curbing dangerous gentrification processes (UN-HABITAT 2008).…”

Reframing China’s heritage conservation discourse. Learning by testing civic engagement tools in a historic rural village

Urban heritage conservation in China has been subject to severe criticism, although there is now a sense of paradigm shift. Charters, declarations and agendas had the merit of filtering down the international discourse on heritage, while more innovative approaches were arising. The UNESCO Historic Urban Landscape recommendation, offers a new angle from which to observe this process of change. The underlying argument of this article is that HUL can provide a platform to achieve greater sustainability in transforming historic sites in China, particularly in rural areas, overcoming, at the same time, the easy shortcut of the East-West discourse of difference in respect to heritage conservation. This is primarily due to the shifting focus from the materiality of heritage to its role in sustainable development with increasing attention on the role played by local communities. By presenting the proposal for the protection of the historic rural village of Shuang Wan in the Jiangsu Province, this paper aims to reflect on this shift showing its advantages but also some of the risks. These are inherent in a discourse of heritage in danger of legitimizing mere pro-growth development approaches, if not accompanied by participatory practices considerate of the specific social reality of China.
