La désynchronisation du développement des quartiers dans les nouvelles métropoles chinoises : le cas du quartier de Xujiapeng à Wuhan

Abstract

Xujiapeng is a working-class neighborhood located in the center of Wuhan Municipality, the provincial capital of Hubei in China. This district on the banks of the Yangtze River developed at the start of the twentieth century with the policies of industrial modernization. Since the mid-2000s, this neighborhood has faced a major urban renewal project that redefines the scales, functions and, ultimately, the social composition of the Xujiapeng district. This article explores the dynamic relationship between the local stakeholders including the residents, the urban and land contexts and the metropolitan project led by the municipality.
