Project

As a "transitional" community type, the spatial transformation of the rural-to-urban community poses a challenge to the existing community governance. Based on the theory of spatial sociology, the project puts the event of property management marketization reform in the context of spatial production and reproduction of rural-to-urban communities, and analyzes how the marketization reform of property management promotes the reconstruction of community space. It is found that the rural-to-urban community, as a heterogeneous space composed of multiple spaces, is driven by the combination of bottom-up space demand and top-down space production. The market-oriented reform of property management has reshaped the material space, meaning space, relationship space and right space of the rural-to-urban community. In terms of function mechanism, property companies play a role of tandem, transmission and integration: tandem forms a horizontal governance Alliance Community, transmission forms a vertical spatial governance chain benefit, and integration integrates "managing things" with "managing people", so as to jointly shape the pattern and order of spatial governance in rural-to-urban communities.
