This project is an attempt to search for an alternative regeneration approach of urban villages under the huge redevelopment pressure in Guangzhou. The past lessons we learned from the monotonous urban paradigm of housing commodities, has shown the emerging gaps between rich and poor, between traditional and modern, between migrants and citizens. It is more than a long-term fight with our government or real estate developers, but a chance for those migrants to become "urbanised" one day. In order to re-recognise the socio-spatial role of urban villages, the theory of socio-resilience is used as a new perspective to comprehend and analyse VICs in Guangzhou into multilevel scopes. Eventually, the regeneration of such unique settlements should be a good springboard for the ultimate urbanisation, as well as the transition of people.
