“…Urban villagers who hold more housing property are prone to gain more value-added income without labor or investment, according to the equal compensation. Setting a compensation baseline can weaken the top-level advantages of these people and narrow the wealth gap with others to achieve equality [46]. In the bottom-up model, residents can participate in dialogue with the redevelopment organization, which acts as a basis for achieving sustainable development.…”

“…Social security measures like job positions, employment training, pension, medical insurance and the shared dividends of a collective economy may have more positive effects on the economic conditions and social security of residents than the changes that may occur in the bottom-up mode [44,45]. However, the size ceiling for housing area compensation, as well as the government's behavior of obtaining income through land acquisition, may cause damage to residents' living welfare in this mode [46]. In China's top-down hierarchical governance system, the boundaries and land use of redeveloped regions are determined by the government, with consideration of the social-economic conditions and potential benefits [22].…”

“…Monetary compensation is included in these two projects, reflecting choice preferences of residents between housing and cash instead of discrepancy of redevelopment policies. The amount and use of monetary compensation may have impacts on residents' welfare [46]. In addition, years since completion of redevelopment has an effect on welfare, due to differences in the completion progress of infrastructure and residents' psychological adaptation at different stages of the redevelopment.…”

Urban village redevelopment has multidimensional impacts on resettled households. These impacts can reflect the sustainability of urban village redevelopment. This study empirically compares the gains and losses of the welfare in economic conditions, living conditions, natural environment, psychological conditions, and social security in bottom-up and top-down urban village redevelopment cases in Wuhan, China. The results show that a bottom-up redevelopment mode with participative residents caused negative effects in economic welfare but positive effects on living conditions, natural environment, and psychological condition, thus promoting higher comprehensive welfare and satisfaction. Top-down redevelopment led by the government provides villagers with shared dividends through collective economic reform and thus, contributes to gains in economic conditions and social security. However, top-down redevelopment with less participation of residents leads to welfare losses in living conditions, natural environment, and psychological conditions, which results in lower welfare and satisfaction levels overall. Therefore, a middle-out redevelopment mode with a combination of government efforts and public participation are proposed as a solution for sustainable urban redevelopment.

“…Pelek [27] analysed the main reasons for the emergence of rural ghettos in southern Turkey and argued that the coexistence of agrarian transformation and contemporary migration flows resulted in new ethnic residential segregation in Turkey's rural areas. Based on an analysis of two typical cases in Wuhan city, Yang and Cai [28] found that housing redistribution had been influenced by compensation standards, property rights and social status. Liu et al [29] examined the daily activity pattern of rural residents in consolidated and unconsolidated villages through mobile phone locational data and found that housing land consolidation does not necessarily harm the daily life of rural residents.…”

Rural residential concentration was one of the important tasks of the “Three Concentrations” strategy implemented in the suburbs of Shanghai in the mid-1990s. The aims of this paper are to comprehensively evaluate the process, pattern and effects of residential concentration in the suburbs of Shanghai over the past 20 years, clarify the direction and focus of development, and propose suggestions for existing deficiencies. Based on remote sensing images and statistical data, the implementation and effects of the rural residential concentration strategy from 1990 to 2015 were analysed using landscape indexes and geospatial analysis. The results are as follows: (1) according to the changes in the landscape pattern and spatial structure, the trends in population concentration in the suburbs of Shanghai are obvious. (2) Before 1995, the trend of population diffusion was conspicuous. After 1995, the period of population diffusion gradually shifted to a period of population agglomeration. The rate of population concentration increased rapidly from 2000 to 2010 and then became moderate after 2010. (3) In 1990, most of the rural residential areas were distributed within 14–52km of the city centre, the distribution of residential area in each ring was relatively uniform, and the overall distribution was scattered and uniform. By 2015, the rural population gradually converged in the inner suburbs, and the centralized distribution gradually changed to within 16–32km of the city centre. (4) In 1990, most of the rural residential areas were located north-northwest, southeast, and southwest of the People’s Square. By 2015, the areas southwest and southeast of the People’s Square became the focus of rural residential distribution. These findings provide a useful reference for future rural planning and construction.
