  • Social Sustainability and Redevelopment of Urban Villages in China: a Case Study of Guangzhou
    sustainability Case Report Social Sustainability and Redevelopment of Urban Villages in China: A Case Study of Guangzhou Fan Wu 1, Ling-Hin Li 2,* ID and Sue Yurim Han 2 1 Department of Construction Management, School of Civil Engineering and Transportation, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510630, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Real Estate and Construction, Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +852-2859-2128 Received: 21 May 2018; Accepted: 19 June 2018; Published: 21 June 2018 Abstract: Rapid economic development in China has generated substantial demand for urban land for development, resulting in an unprecedented urbanization process. The expansion of urbanized cities has started to engulf rural areas, making the urban–rural boundary less and less conspicuous in China. Urban encroachment has led to a rapid shrinkage of the rural territory as the rural–urban migration has increased due to better job opportunities and living standards in the urban cities. Urban villages, governed by a rural property rights mechanism, have started to emerge sporadically within urbanised areas. Various approaches, such as state-led, developer-led, or collective-led approaches, to redevelop these urban villages have been adopted with varying degrees of success. This paper uses a case-study framework to analyse the state–market interplay in two very different urban village redevelopment cases in Guangzhou. By an in-depth comparative analysis of the two regeneration cases in Guangzhou, which started within close proximity in terms of geographical location and timing, we are able to shed light on how completely different outcomes may result from different forms of state–market interplay.

However, a number of previous studies are carried out only on street (town)-to-district scales, which could cause errors of the accessibility to RCFs for a family. In order to improve the resolution to individual families, we measure and compare the accessibilities to RCFs based on 3494 residential communities and 169 streets of Guangzhou in 2020 through the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method.

  • The Floating Community of Muslims in the Island City of Guangzhou
    Island Studies Journal, 12(2), 2017, pp. 83-96 The floating community of Muslims in the island city of Guangzhou Ping Su Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China [email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper explores how Guangzhou’s urban density and hub functions have conditioned its cultural dynamics by looking specifically at the city’s Muslim community. Guangzhou’s island spatiality has influenced the development of the city’s Muslim community both historically and in the contemporary era. As a historic island port city, Guangzhou has a long-standing tradition of commerce and foreign trade, which brought to the city the first group of Muslims in China. During the Tang and Song dynasties, a large Muslim community lived in the fanfang of Guangzhou, a residential unit designated by the government for foreigners. Later, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hui Muslims from northern China, who were mostly soldiers, joined foreign Muslims in Guangzhou to form an extended community. However, during the Cultural Revolution, Guangzhou’s Muslim community and Islamic culture underwent severe damage. It was not until China’s period of reform and opening-up that the Muslim community in Guangzhou started to revive, thanks to the city’s rapid economic development, especially in foreign trade. This is today a floating community, lacking geographical, racial, ethnic, and national boundaries. This paper argues that Guangzhou’s island spatiality as a major port at the mouth of the Pearl River has given rise to a floating Muslim community. Keywords: floating community, Guangzhou, island cities, Muslims, trading port, spatiality https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.18 © 2017 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.

  • Study of Heritage Conservation in Guangzhou
    Study of Heritage Conservation in Guangzhou Shamian Historic Buildings The Shamian Historic Buildings are a cluster of Western-style buildings constructed by countries such as Britain and France inside the foreign concessions of Guangzhou. These buildings were originally consulates, churches, banks, post offices, telegram offices, firms, hospitals, hotels and residences. The residents at that time were mostly the staff members of the consulates, banks and foreign firms, as well as foreign tax officers and missionaries. The main architectural styles included the British and French colonialist, eclectic and early modernist style. This group of buildings was declared as the first batch of the “National Excellence Modern Building Unit” ( 全國近代優秀建築單位), and was declared a protected site for its historical and cultural value at the national level in 1990 and 1996 respectively. At present these buildings have been progressively adaptively re-used. For instance, the Pallonjee House in South Shamian Street was originally the staff quarters of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank, and it is now used as the office of the “Mo Bo-zhi Architectural Firm” (莫伯治建築師事務所).

  • Relocating to Guangzhou
    The British School of Guangzhou Relocating to Guangzhou Welcome to one of the most populous, energetic and rapidly growing places in China. Estimated to have a population of about 16 million, Guangzhou is a thriving hub where people from all corners of the world converge for everything from business to pleasure. Under the flashy surface of this modern metropolis, lies a rich cultural tradition and a history that spans more than 2200 years. With so much on offer, it is no wonder that families are now choosing to call this city home. Many of our families say that moving to Guangzhou has been one of the most rewarding and fascinating decisions that they have made. If you’re in the midst of considering the big move, here is some handy information that will help you with your decision. Residential Options The majority of expats reside in Tianhe, the most developed downtown area. Several commercial buildings such as Center Plaza (P&G Headquarters), Teem Tower, Citic Plaza and China Shine are located here. This eastern district is also convenient for its proximity to bus, subway and rail links to Guangzhou and the rest of China. Grandview Mall and Teem Mall provide endless shopping options for families. Tianhe is home to several expat-friendly compounds such as Fraser Suites, Regal Court, Hilton Sunshine, Greenery, Favorview Palace, Concordia, Castle Peak and Citic Apartments, and luxury five star hotels like the Sheraton, Sofitel and Westin. Zhujiang New Town, a newer and pricier area that is also part of Tianhe District, is home to the city’s tallest buildings and several shopping malls such as GT Land and Happy Valley.

However, the standards of national regulation and the World Health Organization are yet to be fulfilled in certain areas (in some urban districts among the cities) and/or certain periods (during pollution episode event). A further control policy, hence, has been issued in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020, hereafter 13th FYP). It will be of interest to evaluate the air quality before the 13th FYP (2015) and to estimate the potential air quality by the end of the 13th FYP (2020) with a focus on the area of an urban district and the periods of severe pollution episodes.
