title = "A conceptual framework on modes of governance for the regeneration of Chinese {\textquoteleft}villages in the city{\textquoteright}",
abstract = "China{\textquoteright}s rapid urbanisation has created a special form of urban built environment known as {\textquoteleft}village in the city{\textquoteright} (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 article presents a framework on modes of governance to understand the choice of and the differences between modes of governance as well as their positive and negative consequences for the regeneration of ViCs. Case studies of various types of ViC regeneration practices in Guangzhou and Shenzhen are used to illustrate the framework{\textquoteright}s application. The article concludes that new modes of governance that are interactive, inclusive and collaborative are called for to achieve the sustainable regeneration of ViCs.",

note = "Funding Information: After the economic downturn in 2007, Nanling started to restructure its collective economy. The leadership of the collective company initiated a shift to cultural industries and jewellery processing. Supported by revenues generated by leasing collective properties and by operating businesses, the collective company financed the upgrading of infrastructure and public facilities, in which the role of the state was negligible. In the meantime, small property rights housing estates were erected to make profits. These were illegal properties sold at half the price of the commodity housing standard. Although the village received official endorsement and praise from the government for its successful industrial and economic development, its small property rights housing estates severely violated land use regulations. Consequently, the mode of collective–private governance promotes the development and upgrading of ViCs, but tends to create illegal properties, exacerbating the problem of incomplete property rights and informality. Although migrants are both labourers and tenants in the ViCs, they are excluded from this mode of governance. ",
