Post-reform China’s Evolving Compensation and Resettlement Mechanism for Land Expropriation: A Case Study in Shanghai’s Urban Fringe Region

The research will portray the institutional evolution of post-reform China’s compensation and resettlement mechanism for land expropriation through a case study in Shanghai’s urban fringe region. The project will incorporate archive studies (Phase I), interviews with various stakeholders (Phase II), and ground surveys with affected rural households (Phase II). The study will not only probe the effectiveness of policy implementation, but will also contribute to the achievement of a more sustainable and just planning and development approach for cities in the world.
