Features: As a special form in the process of Shenzhen's urban development, the spontaneous high urbanization of urban villages has made them a part of Shenzhen's urban development. Due to the lack of corresponding urban planning and management, the many urban and social problems generated by urban villages have prompted the government to resolve to transform them comprehensively. In this book, urban villages are regarded as a special type of settlement representing a way of life of a particular era. The author explores the urban cultural significance and possible architectural destiny of urban villages from both theoretical and practical perspectives, experimenting with methods that avoid complete demolition and reconstruction.
