Abstract
Urban villages are widespread in many Chinese cities, providing affordable and accessible housing
for rural migrants. These urban villages are developed by the indigenous village population base
on a self-help approach and in an unauthorized style. Consequently, urban villages are characterized
by rapid physical development. This paper uses GIS applications and Municipal building surveys as
instruments to examine the development patterns of urban villages in Shenzhen, one of the most dynamic
cities in China. Analyses reveal significant variation in development patterns and trends across
urban villages, which can provide informative support for policy making associated with urban village
(re)development.
