"COMMON PROPERTY RIGHTS":LOGIC OF "RE-COLLECTIVIZATION" AND CONCEPTION OF SPATIAL GOVERNANCE IN THE REGENERATION OF URBAN VILLAGES
Urban village regeneration has been an important means in recent years for major Chinese cities to alleviate land resource constraints,promote land use efficiency,and improve the quality of urban space.However,under the constraints of both urban and rural land systems and the pressure of economic downturn,urban villages are trapped in the dilemma of overall"low efficiency"of land use and villagers'increasing their incomes through illegal constructions and rent-seeking behaviors.This situation underscores the pressing need for institutional innovation and breakthroughs.Related analysis demonstrates that the evolution of Houhu area in Changsha from a"fishing village"to an"urban village"is a typical process of public domain rent competition.The local government has realized the integration of village property rights through a"demolition without relocation"approach,and carried out spatial transformation,ecological restoration,industrial optimization,and other governance measures,thus creating for multiple stakeholders mutually beneficial outcomes such as regional development,debt relief,and improved well-being.Through institutional innovation,the regeneration practice of urban village in Houhu area explores the"public domain"of spatial resources by integrating property rights,and develops a co-governance and co-prosperity mode for urban villages based on"common property rights"and"re-collectivization",providing a spatial governance strategy and implementation path for current regeneration of urban villages and efficient reallocation of spatial resources.
