Regime Variations and Their Roles in the Redevelopment of Collective-owned Built-up Land: A Case Study of the Pearl River Delta, China

This paper uses urban regime theory to build an analytical framework on game relationship of parties in the redevelopment of collective construction land. Main stakeholders, including local governments, developers, villagers and village collective, have shaped distinguished cooperation relation under the different political, social and economic environment, which can be concluded into three models, such as government-enterprise cooperation-led urban regime, government-community relation-led regime and community-enterprise relation-led regime. Taking the Zhaoqing city, Foshan city and Shenzhen city in the Pearl River Delta region which is one of the most developed regions in China as empirical studies, this paper verifies different urban regime models.
