摘要

In the process of gradual transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy,villages in China have experienced dramatic social and spatial transformation.However,among the abundant literature of the formation and regeneration strategies of urban villages,few of them are on the complete life cycle of an urban village.In order to provide a case for better understanding the social and spatial transformation in China's urban villages,with the help of fleldwork and government statistics,this paper examines the social and spatial dynamics of the Shuangqiao Village in China's Ningbo City.The study includes its prosperity,resulting from studentification,and its disappearance,stemming from urban regeneration,both from a perspective of a complete life cycle analysis.In light of this case study,the paper in the end proposes possible planning measures for urban regeneration.
