Residential relocation and the remaking of socialist workers through state-facilitated urban redevelopment in Chengdu, China
2019
Overview
This article discusses the unevenness in the social effects of state-facilitated urban redevelopment in China by examining the social transformation experienced by the housing class of socialist workers in two inner-city redevelopment projects in Chengdu. After government compensation schemes, former public tenants and subsidised owners associated with socialist work-units are far more privileged through cash compensation or relocation in new self-owned apartments than two other housing classes – migrant tenants and homeowners of commodity or rural housing – impacted by the same urban redevelopment. The objective and subjective transformation of socialist workers during the process of resettlement are examined from field interviews, with their status changing from welfare recipients in danwei compounds to proprietors in new gated communities. We conclude that state-facilitated urban redevelopment in the Chinese city is interdependent with, and mutually reinforced by, state-led working-class transformation in market society, so as to balance the two critical national objectives of economic growth and social stability. State dominance in conferring variable opportunities via launching unequal housing trajectories among social groups determines the significant disparity of impacts from urban redevelopment in China.
本文通过考察成都市两个市中心旧城改造项目中社会主义工人住房阶层所经历的社会转型，探讨了中国国家推动的旧城改造的社会影响不均衡性。同样是受旧城改造影响，但与其他两个住房阶层 - 移民租户和商品房或农村房屋的房主相比，在政府补偿计划之后，附属于社会主义工作单位的前公共租户和补贴所有者通过现金补偿或新自有公寓搬迁得到的实惠要多得多。社会主义工人在移民安置过程中的客观和主观转变是通过实地访谈来研究的，他们的地位从单位宿舍的福利接受者转变为新的门禁社区的住房所有者。我们的结论是，中国城市中由国家推动的旧城改造与市场社会中国家主导的工人阶级转型相互依存、相辅相成，从而平衡了经济增长和社会稳定这两个关键的国家目标。通过在社会群体中推出不平等的住房轨道来赋予不同群体不同的机会，这种国家主导模式决定了中国城市旧城改造的影响在不同阶层之间存在巨大的不平等。
