CPRG Research Seminar: Governing Chinese Neighbourhoods: Models and Beyond
08 Dec 2021, 12:30 – 14:00
Zoom meeting ID: 978 7923 2002
Housing privatisation has created profound impacts on Chinese neighbourhoods but observation from old urban neighbourhoods suggests that the state does not give up its role in neighbourhood governance (Wu, 2018). Diverse models are found in deiffrent types of neighbourhoods (Wang and Clarke, 2021). Homeowner associations are an emergent neighbourhood organisation but have a limited role in self-governance (Lu et al, 2021).
This workshop will interrogate China's model of neighbourhood governance and reflect on the role of the state and grassroots governance.
