The Renovation strategy of Shenzhen Urban Village

HKU Master of Architecture Design Thesis 2023-2024
Author: Nie Wenhao, Benie
Advisor: Fai Au

Position Statement:
At present, the renovation of urban villages is not a good solution, and the success of few villages cannot be applied to other villages. At the same time, the development of the city has no spare open space, and the government, as the largest landlord, wants to step up and make good use of the land in the urban village.

The problem of urban villages in Shenzhen is a common problem, and the cases of some successful villages have their particularities at present. The purpose of thesis is on the government’s side to find a new mode of urban village renovation to adapt to all urban villages in Shenzhen.

Aims:
1.To create more GFA in urban villages with the small cost. Minimum footprint, but maximum GFA
2.To ensure the basic living needs of residents during the renovation period and the smooth return after the completion of the renovation.
3.To provide residents with a better living environment, good lighting, ventilation and more public open space.
4. Retain the urban village character

Before Renovation:
Shawei Village Area: 96,554 sqm; Building Site Coverage Area: 61,115 sqm; Building Num: 458; Gross Floor Area: 399,424 sqm ; SC: 63.3%; Plot Ratio: 4.137
Renovation:
Demolish: Num. 55; GFA 14867 sqm; Site Area 4856 sqm
Addition : 19 columns ; GFA 60219 sqm; SA 731 sqm

The evolution of urban village spatial form in Shenzhen:

Since 1986, Shenzhen Statistical Yearbook has recorded the data of private housing construction in urban and rural areas, with a total of 34,241,800 square meters from 1986 to 2009. According to the latest statistics, Shenzhen has 220 million square meters of buildings and 310,000 houses in urban villages so far.

The construction characteristics and forms of informal housing in urban villages can be divided into four stages: the disorderly stage before 1982, the initial stage from 1982 to 1989, the rapid spread stage from 1989 to 2004, and the transformation stage after 2004.

Each stage has the corresponding policy as its turning point, 1982 “Shenzhen Special Economic Zone rural members construction land Interim Provisions” its policy significance is to demarcate the new village; The policy significance of “Several Provisions on Land expropriation in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone” in 1989 is to deal with violations; 2004 “Shenzhen Treasure”. The policy significance of the Measures for the management of urbanized land in the two districts of An Longgang is to resolutely and strictly deal with violations.

Urban Village in Shenzhen

By the end of 2022, there are 1,044 urban village units with natural villages as the unit in Shenzhen, with a total of 319,000 buildings, a total of 5.913 million units (rooms), and a total construction area of about 220 million sqm, accounting for more than 40% of the city’s total construction.

I mainly studied the basic data of 115 urban villages in Futian District, Luohu District, Nanshan District and Baoan District. The differences of building area, building density, floor area ratio, average building height, average floor and height of village buildings are studied.

Development mode: Housing Replacement +Unified Rental Housing

The government has improved land use efficiency by demolishing houses below three storeys as structural support points for buildings. The new house is used as the area compensation, and the excess new house can be used as the talent apartment for rent.

At the same time, the government can rent houses in urban villages, sign 20-year leases with landlords, and endorse them with government credit. The old and new houses in the urban village can be better interactive transformation, and all the houses in the urban village can be considered as integrated one.
