Features: When discussing community development in contemporary China, people often associate it with the danwei system. However, academia rarely delves into the specific and diverse variations of the "danwei system" in different spatial contexts. This book introduces the variable of "locality" into "danwei-community" research, using the super-large industrial communities in the Northeast Old Industrial Base as a case study. It reveals the formation and manifestations of the "typical danwei system" and further explores its impact and constraints on the community development of the Northeast Old Industrial Base. This approach uncovers the deeper implications of danwei studies, enriches the development of "danwei theory," and addresses theoretical challenges such as the "end of the danwei society" and community construction and development.
