Abstract
Recently, with the rapid development of the economy in China, the process of urbanization is accelerating. However, in the fast urbanization process, the government's rapid expansion of the space has resulted in a large number of urban villages emerging. These urban villages locate inside the downtown area but the situation in there is different from the surrounding urban areas. These urban villages cause problems to the social security and community environment.
The intelligent management and regeneration of urban village helps to optimize the urban land resources, improving urban appearance, and enhance the quality of life in villages and the city.
Harbin is one of the largest cities in China. Since the reform and open-up in the 1970s in China, Harbin has developed rapidly. With the rapid development of the economy and urbanization process, the problem of the urban village appears in Harbin.
