Abstract

The paper wants to explore the relationship between the community of Lijiao “village in the city”, located in Haizhu District of Guangzhou, and the promoters of its redevelopment. The literature around the topic of the “villages in the city” has strongly emerged in the last 10 years, due to many case studies of relocations inside the urban expansion of the Pearl River Delta Metropolis. A combination of field of interests like social inequalities, rural-urban migrations, urban planning in a transforming spatial economy and strong administrative bureaucracy, find their combination in a specific site with a long history of land settlement and social practices. The case study of Lijiao village it’s crucial in order to understand the equilibriums between the local community administration system and the top-down and rhetorical visions of the urban planning. In fact the strong volunteer promote by the Local Government to continue the North-South axis of the Central Business District of Guangzhou, will effect in the future this location suspended between the peri-urban interface and an expanding central core. Because the transformation is not yet occurred, the research wants to map these spatial struggles between the parties now disposed around an unstable negotiations, rhetorical participation processes and media consensus.
