Sempre più nella società urbana della Cina il lavoro dei progettisti urbani si intreccia con le trasformazioni dei paesaggi metropolitani. Ex villaggi agricoli sono incapsulati dal recente sviluppo urbano; questi villaggi contengono abitazioni tradizionali che sono spesso considerate come obsolete, quindi ritenute inadatte per stili di vita moderni. Tuttavia, a causa del quadro regolativo diverso molti villaggi sono diventati enclave dei lavoratori migranti, in quanto solo in questi villaggi è possibile per loro di accedere ad alloggi a basso costo, anche se non necessariamente di un livello decente. In un laboratorio nel 2013, gli autori hanno sperimentato concetti di design che permettano di incrementare il rinnovo delle abitazioni nei villaggi e forniscano spazi abitativi necessari per un grande numero di lavoratori migranti che attualmente è fuori del mercato immobiliare tradizionale

Keywords: Villaggi tradizionali: migrazione urbana-rurale; case a basso costo in Cina
