ABSTRACT

The  economic  reform  and  ‘Open  Door’  policy  in  China  initiated  in  1978,  and  the  land  reform especially  launched  in  1987,  associated  with  globalisation,  which  resulted  in  a  dramatic  change  in Chinese  cities  of  rapid  industrialization  and  urbanization.  This  study  focuses  on  the  context  analysis of  one  of  the  megacities  in  China -Shenzhen,  pointing  out  that  migration  was  a  key  driver  of Shenzhen’s  development.  And  migration  and  industrialization  led  to  a  unique  urbanization phenomenon: the ‘symbiosis’ of urban villages and industrial parks, where migrants live and work.

中国的经济改革和“开放”政策始于1978年，特别是1987年启动的土地改革，与全球化联系在一起，导致了中国城市快速工业化和城市化的戏剧性变化。本文以中国特大城市深圳为研究对象，分析了人口迁移是深圳发展的主要动力。移民和工业化导致了一种独特的城市化现象:城中村和工业园区的“共生”，而工业园区是移民生活和工作的地方。

However, it is argued that during an economic and social transition period, even though the migrants account for most of Shenzhen’s population, the risk of losing jobs and the unaffordable housing in Shenzhen, are expelling them. On the contrary, the migrants, as well as other early-stage starters in the city, are young and have the intention to improve themselves and promote their career. But the current urban   renewal   movement,   targeting   urban   villages   and   industrial   parks,   does   not   take   the inclusiveness of urban migrants into account is defined as the problem. To translate this social issue of inclusiveness  into  the  spatial  arena,  arrival  city  theory  is  referred  to  and  expanded  to  a  wider discourse, emphasizing the importance of affordable work-related space for migrants and other career starters to promote their career in this specific context.

然而，在经济和社会转型时期，尽管农民工占深圳人口的绝大部分，但失业和住房负担的风险正在驱逐农民工。与此相反，外来务工人员，以及其他在城市处于起步阶段的人，都是年轻的，有提升自我和发展事业的意愿。但目前以城中村和工业园区为目标的城市更新运动，没有考虑到城市移民的包容性被定义为问题所在。为了将这一社会包容性问题转化为空间领域，作者借鉴并扩展了到达城市理论，强调在这一特定背景下，负担得起的与工作相关的空间对于农民工和其他职业创业者促进其职业发展的重要性。

Thus,  the research  topic on providing  affordable work-related  space  is stated. In  order  to  understand the  relationship  between  socio-economic  performativity  and  urban  form,  both  mathematical  analysis approach  of space  syntax  by  Hillier  and  descriptive  disciplines  suggested  by  Jacobs,  Montgomery, Gehl  and  Lynch  are  referred  to  and  verified  in  this  context.  As  a  result  of  verification,  the  positive relation between street integration and  retailing performativity is revealed, as well as the importance of wide sidewalk, pedestrian-friendly street and attractive public space. The analysis of urban patterns through space syntax profiled the spatial structure and spatial qualities on a local scale, and based on these, planning principles were set for urban strategies in the future.

由此，提出了提供可负担的工作空间的研究课题。为了理解社会经济表现与城市形态之间的关系，本文在此背景下引用并验证了希利尔的空间句法数学分析方法和雅各布、蒙哥马利、格尔和林奇提出的描述学科。实证结果表明，街道整合与零售表现性之间存在正相关关系，以及宽阔的人行道、行人友好型街道和吸引人的公共空间的重要性。通过空间句法分析城市格局，在局部尺度上勾勒出空间结构和空间品质，并以此为基础，为未来的城市策略制定规划原则。
