Abstract

Since the 1990s, it is an obvious feature of Shanghai suburbs that the spatial urbanization lags behind the industrialization, with thriving demands for housing from domestic immigrant workers. By contrast, thevillages surrounding the industrial area undergo an aging process continuously, with the youth moving out of the village and many rural houses left vacant, expecting new developing opportunities and vitality urgently. If the demands from both sides can not be coordinated or guided, the indigenous villagers would likelyconstruct or enlarge the owner-occupied houses illegally arbitrarily and rent them to the immigrants, resulting in the deterioration of the living environment and social conflicts in the village. In 2017, the national policy "Pilot Scheme for Building Rental Houses on the Collective construction land" was released, in which Shanghai was selected as a pilot city. In this background, this paper aims to examine the necessity and feasibility of building public rental houses (abbr. PRH) on the rural collective construction land1 (abbr. CCL) in Shanghai suburbs and propose appropriate strategies for it. The paper first summarizesrelevant experience from villages in Dongguan and Beijing via documentation. Then combined with the author's practice of Master-planning in Jiading Industrial Zone in Shanghai, with a local village named Cao'an as the case, this paper evaluates the necessity and feasibility of constructing public rental houses in Cao'an village respectively from the village's status quo of development and the opportunities offered by its special location. Finally, drawing on the experience of Dongguan and Beijing, corresponding strategiesregarding the construction of housing-supply-system and subsequent development are proposed. This paper aims to discuss whether it's possible to, and how to use rural land reasonably to resolve the supply-demand contradiction of housing in the context of rapid industrialization of suburbs in developing countries, guide the orderly construction of suburbs, and prevent villages from becoming informal settlements.
