The ACSP Conference invited Graduate students to prepare poster presentation highlighting their research. Co-authoured with Dr. Zhu (Joe) Qian, Chen Yang shares research on Generational Difference and Spatial Mismatch of Concentrated Resettlement Communities (CRCs) in China (PDF).
Description: While the phenomenon of concentrated resettlement communities (CRCs) has garnered wide attention in prior research, limited attempts have been made to investigate and conceptualize the variance of CRCs that are “produced” in different stages of China’s hitherto urbanization. This research investigates how CRCs are produced in nearly a decade (2005-2017) to add knowledge to the broad spectrum of discourse around CRCs as well as the residents of them who are, in most cases, the landless farmers expelled from their previous homeland.
