Massive migration is one the most significant phenomena of China’surbanization. In the thirty years since the ;;Reform and Open Up;; policybegan, Guangzhou, as the center of the Pearl River Delta, has experiencedsignificant economic growth and urban expansion and attracted a vastnumber of migrant laborers.Seen as the product of the rapid urbanization, urban villages accommodatethe majority of migrants by providing low-rent housing, but at the sametime they cause many social problems. Guangzhou’s general approach tothe redevelopment of urban village overlooks the serious issues migrantsare facing and their demand of affordable housing. The reconstruction notonly disregards the traditional village context but also drives the migrantsaway. Yangji village presents all characteristics typical of urban villages.It is located near the new center of Guangzhou and is currently beingredeveloped.With the aim of improving the migrants;; standard of living and helpingthem gradually integrate into the city, this thesis proposes a new way toredevelop Yangji village in the urban context of Guangzhou by providingmigrants with government-subsided low-rent housing and enhancingthe potential for social interactions in the neighborhood. Taking intoconsideration the overall city development of Guangzhou, the benefits to allits citizens as well as the former village context and its population, the thesis proposes a design for an open community that is a mixture of differentpopulations, functions, natural and historical elements.
