Then Guangzhou must be on the list.
Among the four first-tier cities, Guangzhou is the only city with a large number of villages in the city center.
Generally speaking, there are clear boundaries between cities and villages. However, in Guangzhou, this boundary is very vague, and the urban CBD and the village in the city complement each other and coexist harmoniously.
Moreover, compared with the deep villages in the north, the villages in Guangzhou are still quite vibrant.
How many villages are there in Guangzhou?
Although Guangzhou has been carrying out the demolition and reconstruction of villages in cities in recent years, according to statistics, there are still 139 villages in cities in Guangzhou, which are mainly distributed in five old cities, namely Tianhe District (28), Haizhu District (20), Baiyun District (58), Liwan District (17) and Huangpu District (/kloc-0). This figure is equivalent to the population of Shantou.
Among them, Li Jiao Village, with a history of 900 years, is the largest village in Guangzhou, with a population of over 65,438+.
Why are there so many villages in cities in Guangzhou?
First, the main reason is that Guangzhou's cities are developing too fast.
After the reform and opening up, due to the needs of economic development, cities expropriated part or all of the cultivated land in suburban towns, and gradually surrounded some village settlements in the urban area under construction, and eventually evolved into villages in the city.
Secondly, before 20 10, Guangzhou's system for urban villages was not perfect, and the government's supervision was low. Many landlords have appeared many illegal houses in order to overcharge the rent.
Later, these villages in the city became the main residence of migrants, and Guangzhou is a very inclusive city. The government wants to keep people and ensure that some low-income people have a place to live, so it rarely demolishes villages in the city.
Third, the phenomenon of many villages in Guangzhou is also related to the economic development model. Guangzhou's economic development has been relatively advanced, and it is not necessary to increase GDP by selling land.
On the other hand, the village in the city in Guangzhou is the cheapest among the first-tier cities, which indirectly shows the openness and tolerance of Guangzhou by allowing young and hardworking people to better integrate into the city.
Finally, there are some reasons why it can't be removed. Sometimes even if the developer gives considerable compensation, many landlords are not willing to dismantle it easily.
Have you ever lived in the countryside of Guangzhou?
Everyone who has lived in rural Guangzhou knows that they are all highly similar. They all have similar handshake buildings, similar narrow alleys, similar supermarkets and vegetable markets, and the same dense crowd. Of course, there are restaurants and fast food restaurants that are similar.
For tenants, the difference between villages in Guangzhou may only be the difference in location and rent, and the others are really similar. This is also the main consideration when renting a house.
The floating population in most villages in Guangzhou is 5- 10 times that of local residents, and some even more. For example, in Tangxia Village, Tianhe, the population of indigenous villagers is only over 20,000, but nearly 300,000 migrant workers are "bound".
Some of them are due to industry. For example, shipai village, as the largest IT product distribution center in South China, provides low rent and warehouses for hundreds of thousands of employees here.
These immigrants once included Ding Lei from Netease, Xu Jiayin from Evergrande and five folk bands, which can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It can be said that the numerous villages in Guangzhou are the first stop for many people to work hard in Guangzhou and the place where their dreams begin. The reason why Guangzhou can develop to the present is tolerance. Both the poor and the rich can find their own way of life here without losing their dignity!
