摘要: The objective of this article is to speculate on the urban restructuring process in China’s transition a market economy. Previous studies suggest that broad theoretical framework much needed develop hypotheses for further empirical studies. This paper draws its insights from relevant contemporary capitalist cities, particular, political economy analysis and capital switching, structure building provision creation rent gap, institutional property rights. Summarily, it suggests basic logic production context socialist city requires specific way coordinating — through economic planning configuration state work-unit system. Manifested built environment was project-specific development. structural tendency disinvest developed land has engendered which laid foundation phase redevelopment reforming economies. Urban recent emerging economy, mainly involves decentralization, reorganizing environment, an increasing local-global link overseas capital, understood perspective. post-reform characterized by land-use polycentric It argued physical reshaping Chinese cities can be with respect redefinition rights, hence, capturing gap main actors work-units, municipalities, central state, real-estate investors, original residents farmers. By nature, favours big builders who have either de facto rights over existing or huge enables them ‘wipe out’ small owners. Western experience gentrification reminds us social problems may created during process, calls continuing shed light China. L’objectif cet est speculer sur le processus restructuration urbaine durant la periode Chine une economie marche. Les etudes precedentes suggerent qu’un modele theorique large absolument necessaire pour developper des empiriques additionnelles. Cet tire ses idees villes capitalistes contemporaines, en particulier analyses d’economie politique du urbain et tranfert capitaux, bâtiments l’ecart entre les loyers, l’analyse institutionnelle droits propriete. Succintement, suggere que logique fondamentale dans contexte d’une ville socialiste demande methode particuliere coordination par planification economique specifique systeme d’unite travail l’etat. Le developpement certains projets etait manifeste l’environnement urbain. La tendance structurelle au desinvestissement terres developpees produit un ecart qui cree base redeveloppement economies socialistes reforme. l’economie marche naissante, implique principalement decentralisation, reorganisation urbain, et, plus plus, lien local global grâce d’outremer, peut etre comprise cette L’environnement d’apres reformes caracterise l’amenagement territoire polycentrique. soutient remaniement physique chinoises compris rapport propriete, loyers donc accapare agents principaux unites l’etat, municipalites, l’etat central, investisseurs immobiliers, d’origine fermiers. Vu sa ce favorise gros entrepreneurs ont soit aux urbaines existantes capitaux considerables leur permettent ‘liquider’ petits proprietaires. L’experience occidentale d’embourgeoisement nous rappelle problemes sociaux peuvent crees processus, attention continue afin d’expliquer reformes.
