Abstract | This paper investigates the urban redevelopment process under the three old redevelopment' policy in Guangzhou, China from 2009 to 2014. It highlights strongly shared interests between stakeholders' institutions that match the core mechanism of the urban regime approach. The fragmented authoritarianism model is used to explain the origins of such regimes, using concepts such as institutional obstacles and small opportunities. In addition, comparisons are made between three types of places (the three olds' of towns, factories and village) that experience specific institutional difficulties. Through the three old redevelopment' policy, selective regimes are emerging in diverse ways to form new informal coalitions and realise potential land values, depending on the place and context in which it is applied. These selectivities can be explained by the analysis of a bias institutional ensemble which privileges some projects and some actors more than others in the three old redevelopment'. |
