This research conceptualizes the right to resettlement in China by synthesizing the literature on resettlement, the right to the city, and informality. This research captures four subsets of rights to resettlement based on a review of existing resettlement literature, including rights to economic enhancement, spatial adaptation, social stability, and political inclusiveness. While state-led resettlement policies should have prioritized inclusive resettlement, our case study reveals the significant role played by villagers’ bottom-up approaches, utilizing informality and collective strategies, in enhancing inclusiveness. The research adopts an explanatory-sequential approach that uses principal component analysis, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaire surveys to investigate post-resettlement adaptation in 12 resettlement communities in Hangzhou, China. The empirical evidence suggests informal economic activities, spontaneous spatial transformation, hybrid governance structures, and non-institutionalized participation have contributed significantly to villagers claiming their right to resettlement. We conclude with recommendations for achieving inclusive resettlement.KEYWORDS: Inclusive resettlementthe right to resettlementinformalitylandless villagersurbanization AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the editor Dr. June Wang and three anonymous referees for their valuable comments on earlier drafts.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. According to the office of poverty alleviation and development (OPAD), the rural poverty line in 2021 is around 4,000 RMB (615 USD).2. In this context, the term state mode of production does not refer to the original concept proposed by Lefebvre and further developed by Brenner in their writings on state theory. Rather, it is used to emphasize the specific characteristics of the space that is produced, such as being instrumental, urbanized, homogenizing, and governable.3. According to the Measures for Public Notice of Land Acquisition, resettled villagers only have participation opportunities during “two notices and one registration” (liang gonggao, yi dengji): the notice of land requisition, the notice of compensation and resettlement plan, and the registration of compensation. However, such opportunities are often formalistic.4. This format is to report the Likert value mean of the variable. Prefix (SP, SO, E, P) indicates the dimension of factor analysis (see Table 2). Those without prefix indicates the results of survey questions that are not included in the final PCA results.5. More than 246 villages have been resettled in Hangzhou proper alone as of 2020.Additional informationFundingThis research is funded by an Insight Grant [reference number: 435-2018-0953] from the Social Sciences and Hu","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"875 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135884487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through critical organizational analyses of eviction-related projects in Atlanta, Georgia, and Richmond, Virginia, we illustrate the data feminism approach to reimagining eviction data as a tool for tenant empowerment. We find that why, how, for whom, and with whom we collect, present, and organize eviction data is both driven by and drives the narratives, policy, and practice around eviction. Shifting the power, process, and participants of eviction data creation can facilitate tenant organizing and a rebalancing of the landlord-tenant power and information dynamic. Such a reorientation of the purpose, creation, and usage of data could promote data justice across a variety of urban policy areas.KEYWORDS: Evictiondatacase study AcknowledgmentsThank you to the reviewers, the editor Bernadette Hanlon, and participants at the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning conference for their helpful comments.

This paper investigates the place of exclusion and inclusion in planned community development practice. We undertook qualitative and quantitative analyses of the MPC development practice from the 1990s to the present. Through archival analysis and interviews, we demonstrate that, beginning in the early 2000s, MPC developers started to embrace diversity for financial success. We further confirm this trend by quantitatively analyzing U.S. Census Bureau data. We find that MPCs built since 2000 are racially and ethnically more diverse than their predecessors, with greater emphasis on middle-income households. Based on these findings, we carefully posit that American MPCs are moving toward greater diversity, a clear departure from their history of exclusion. We conclude with policy implications for various levels of the government to take advantage of this trend.KEYWORDS: Master-planned communitiesmixed methods researchdiversity AcknowledgmentsWe thank the four anonymous reviewers for their excellent comments and suggestions that allowed us to improve the paper significantly.

The forest pub, maintained by the City of Turku, is an outdoor place where groups are encouraged to gather, socialize, and drink in public. Grateful for such an opportunity, the regulars embrace the forest pub, yet recognize its deficiencies in supporting public sociability and encounter. Through improvised action, the regulars respond to the limits and possibilities of their socio-spatial surroundings and find solutions to their everyday needs in the changing suburban landscape. This ethnographic study contributes to the discussions on the complex nature of spaces that exist on one hand as products of planning and control, and everyday practice and meaning on the other. Working between these aspects, urban improvising emerges as a contextualized, experimental, intuitive, and interactive everyday action, being central to the way people “keep life going” in their neighborhood. Everyday acts of improvisation unfold as a reflection of the regulars’ being and belonging in their suburb, suggesting an alternative view to spaces perceived as contested or marginal.","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136295695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper asks whether changes in density within city-regions are associated with changes in racial and gender inequality. The main results suggest that a 100 person per square mile increase in population density is associated with 32.9, 46.1, and 27.5 cent increases in hourly Black-White, Latinx-White, and female-male wage inequality respectively. I conceptualize and find suggestive evidence in favor of a spatial mechanism that channels this relationship—as cities get denser, congestion also rises, with disproportionately adverse effects for women and people of color. I show that the relationship between changes in density and changes in inequality is higher when commute times also rise, and that increasing density within cities is associated with increasing commuting inequality. Overall, this research highlights how the process of urbanization may contribute to social inequality.","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135044280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
