“…The concepts of smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth strategies have recently been well-promoted, especially in the E.U. [36]. Sustainable management of rural resources is being regarded as an innovative rural development policy in the wave of global urbanization [37][38][39], which is not only economically important but socially significant in ways such as safeguarding public health [40].…”

Rapid economic development in China has generated substantial demand for urban land for development, resulting in an unprecedented urbanization process. The expansion of urbanized cities has started to engulf rural areas, making the urban-rural boundary less and less conspicuous in China. Urban encroachment has led to a rapid shrinkage of the rural territory as the rural-urban migration has increased due to better job opportunities and living standards in the urban cities. Urban villages, governed by a rural property rights mechanism, have started to emerge sporadically within urbanised areas. Various approaches, such as state-led, developer-led, or collective-led approaches, to redevelop these urban villages have been adopted with varying degrees of success. This paper uses a case-study framework to analyse the state-market interplay in two very different urban village redevelopment cases in Guangzhou. By an in-depth comparative analysis of the two regeneration cases in Guangzhou, which started within close proximity in terms of geographical location and timing, we are able to shed light on how completely different outcomes may result from different forms of state-market interplay. It is found that a neoliberal policy approach that aims at coordinating state resources with market forces rather than discarding the state's role provides a more satisfactory outcome in urban village redevelopment when there are a lot of stakeholders involved each with different agendas. The state maintains a good balance of the power-play in the process with a clear and supportive policy and regulatory guidance, leaving the market to function more effectively and satisfactorily in effectuating capital flow for the project, which helps to achieve sustainable outcomes.

Статья посвящена анализу существующих методик для оценки перспектив развития сельских территорий в рамках концепции сельских молодежных жилищно-производственных комплексов. В результате проведенного исследования выявлены группы факторов, которые необходимо учитывать при разработке методики. Необходимо отметить, что разработка методики осложняется тем, что необходимо применить такую совокупность индикаторов, которая бы отражала не только общую ситуацию в муниципальных образованиях, но и уникальные характеристики поселений.

“…Such processes must have fruitful effects on the whole territorial components and also depend on the rediscovery of the places where distinctive use and management options arise. Moreover, the necessary creation of synergies between socio-economic growth and environmental protection (Naldi et al, 2015) implies the sustainable use and management of the natural and cultural assets, linking regional and place-based strategies. In rural and mountainous areas, the features and quality of the natural assets are defined as important factors for sustainability (Sánchez-Zamora et al, 2014); landforms and landscapes are essential components of their configuration, having a strong influence on their development trajectories.…”
