| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This study examines social interventions into the everyday life of residents, families, and communities during a redevelopment project in an old town neighbourhood of Guangzhou. It further analyses how citizen activism unfolds in response to these redevelopment interventions. To better understand contention over the renewal of an old town neighbourhood - beyond negotiation of compensation for economic losses - the study is structured by a recognition-theoretical model of social conflict following Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser. |
