Urban Villages in Shenzhen: A Feature

By: Anna Yalun Zou

Anna Zou is a rising high school junior at Whittle School & Studios, Shenzhen. She was born in Shenzhen and has gone to both local and international schools in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

A middle-aged woman was cleaning her front yard when we came up to her. She was a local resident of Nanyuan Cun, one of the 320 urban villages in Shenzhen. Urban Villages are densely populated areas surrounded by skyscrapers and modern urban constructions. Inside these urban villages, narrow and crowded buildings are virtually everywhere. Such buildings are known as “handshake buildings,” since they stand so close to each other that the residents could shake their hands across these buildings. Vendors and small stores are spread along the streets. Motorcycles constantly pass by; their honks high in pitch. “All of the old buildings here will soon be demolished,” said the woman in a seemingly calm tone.

Nanyuan Cun, along with the other urban villages in Shenzhen, is currently confronted with the fact that it will be completely demolished for urban renewal, a part of Shenzhen’s future plan of development. The plan will further boost the progress of Shenzhen’s economic growth and modernization.

Shenzhen, one of the most innovative and prosperous cities in China, has transformed from a small fishing village over the course of merely 40 years. It is now the technology hub of the country, with hundreds and thousands of investors and fortunes flowing in on a regular basis. As the city continues to develop at a rapid rate, local governments and land developers have begun to seek more lucrative uses of land. Lured by the advantageous locations of urban villages, which are mostly in the middle of these urban areas, governments and land developers tend to remodel these neighborhoods to speed up the city’s modernization and development (Haack, 2018).

Take Baishizhou, one of Shenzhen’s largest urban villages, for example. According to a census conducted in 2019, a total of 15,379 people moved out of the village ever since the plan of renovating Baishizhou was finalized and launched in 2017. The total population has dropped sharply – from 83,000 to 38,890 (Liu, 2019). Buildings were torn down, and agreements for compensations were signed: urban village renewal was on its way.

While these urban slums are being knocked down, other underlying problems may loom, including but not limited to migrant displacement, decrease in diversity, and so on. Most of all, demolition of urban villages threatens the role these villages have been playing in the city. The role can be traced back to a long time ago, when Shenzhen was just starting to develop.

Back in the 1980s, when Deng Xiaoping first declared Shenzhen a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) that was at the forefront of China’s economic reform, governments began buying farmlands from local villagers and later converted the lands into municipal properties. Villagers who lost their farmlands then started seeking other possible sources of income. As many migrant workers flocked in for economic opportunities, the villagers provided them with rental housings as a way to earn income (Walsh, 2020). The origin of urban villages was formed thence.

Characterized by dirty streets and shabby buildings, urban villages were often viewed as embodiments of crime and poverty. Despite their relatively unsanitary and chaotic living conditions, urban villages were far more functional in Shenzhen’s recent past than one might think. They were the most prevailing spots of accommodation for many, attracting tenants with their advantageous, close-to-downtown locations and relatively low living costs. According to Juan Du, the associate dean of architecture at Hong Kong University: without urban villages, it would be challenging for Shenzhen, a city whose housing price skyrockets relentlessly, to grow and expand as quickly and explosively as it is today (Walsh, 2020). In other words, the presence of urban villages helped foster the growth and development taking place in Shenzhen. In addition, urban villages also consist of vibrant and diversified communities since they embrace people from different backgrounds and social classes. Furthermore, each urban village possesses its own uniqueness, such as history, resources, and so forth, forming a miraculously unique facet of the city.

At present, many urban villages are facing the risk of demolition. The plan of urban village renewals has already been initiated since the 2000s. Carrying the plan out, however, could be quite challenging because of strong resistance to the evictions and the complexity of negotiating with urban village landowners. Moreover, knocking down an urban village will place great difficulties upon its renters. Many will have to move out and seek other equally affordable and cheap housings, which could be challenging in Shenzhen where the price of accommodations is relatively high. As a result, some of the tenants might be forced to leave the city or move to farther places such as the suburbs.

Then controversies arise. Some argue that urban renewals are inevitable trade-offs to pave a way for Shenzhen’s modernization and globalization in the future, whereas others express anger and frustration, raising outcries and resistances towards the ongoing demolition. “Demolition is a threat for us to preserve the history of Shenzhen: when surrounding areas of urban villages are being destroyed, so are historically important sites,” said an old man, who has been living in Nanyuan Cun for nearly 80 years.

While the future of many urban villages seems to remain uncertain, more and more people are realizing the role urban villages have been playing in Shenzhen’s development. Thus, many begin to call for outcomes other than demolition. Guidelines recommending revitalizations and quality-of-life improvements have been issued by the city government (Mackinnon, 2016). According to Meng Yan, an experienced architect of urban villages, “More voices and opinions, especially those of the renters, have been heard in the discussions about urban villages, and demolition will, therefore, be more complicated and difficult than it was [before]” (Cai, 2018).
