Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies, 10(3), e202016. https://doi.org/10.29333/ojcmt/7996 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Received: 7 Feb 2020 This article focuses on the history of Zhongguancun as one of the most important area used by Accepted: 9 Apr 2020 the official Chinese narrative to promote the historical shift from the “made in China” model to the “created in China” one. We reconfigure this process through three historical phases that reflect the engagement of policymakers, business and high-tech agents in the creation of a specific social imaginary. Based on a textual analysis as well as on political and sectorial sources, this historical study argues that Zhongguancun carries a set of cultural values influenced by the Silicon Valley experience, however it still fails to achieve success in terms of creation and innovation. In detail, our article highlights three findings: Zhongguacun satisfied the conditions of creative area only during its first stage, when local industries had to adapt its services and products to the Chinese language and culture. Second, Zhongguancun shared with the Silicon Valley neoliberalists issues such as those related to the risk of a real estate bubble burst. Third, although Chinese documents show that Zhongguancun has not the same creativity outputs compared to the Silcon Valley, it shares with California its financial dynamics mainly driven by huge investments in innovation places like innovation cafes.

March 12, 2009 in In Case You Missed It by The China Beat | 3 comments By Yu Zhou As the financial Tsunami batter China’s exporting hubs, everyone is wondering how well China can weather the storm in the next couple of years, but a more important question is how China’s economy will emerge after the crisis. As a result of extensive research, I argue that there have been sustained forces pushing China’s industry to more innovative fields with a stronger orientation to the domestic market. The crisis will only strengthen the shift in a more dramatic manner. This conclusion is based on my research in Beijing’s Zhongguancun, a region dedicated to innovative industry and domestic market.

  • Zhongguancun LMI Housing Report.Docx.Docx
    White, Tamara and Zhou, Jinnan Zhongguancun Cottage Redevelopment 49th ISOCARP Congress 2013 Zhongguancun Cottage Redevelopment: Prospects for Low-Middle Income Housing Tamara WHITE and ZHOU Jinnan China Academy of Urban Planning & Design Introduction China is experiencing a wave of transformation, with an unprecedented speed and scale of change in the economy, demographic flows, built and natural environments, and socio- cultural mores. This has enormous impact on the country’s housing system, particularly in China’s fast growth cities. This paper explores several aspects of low-middle income housing, amidst the pressures of China’s sweeping changes. It provides a historical context of housing privatization, market reforms, and government regulatory measures. Elements of the modern housing system, as pertain to low-middle income (LMI) households, are then presented: current LMI housing strategies, market conditions, and policy and programming frameworks. The discussion is then grounded in a study of the Zhongguancun Cottage Redevelopment in Haidian District of Beijing. Zhongguancun is a dynamic and strategically important growth area, with steep competition for land uses and redevelopment funds. We offer some recommendations for preserving and producing LMI housing at this local level.
