The transformation of villages in cities in Guangzhou has always been a thorn in the urban transformation of Guangzhou, which has been slow and difficult for many years. This has a great connection with the social characteristics of this city, which is civilian and plays an extremely important role for individuals. A village in the city will be endlessly delayed as long as a few residents object. Many urban village planning has already begun, and some of them have reached ten years. They have been communicating and coordinating constantly, and finally they can&;t hear the sound of landing. However, in the past two years, the wind has suddenly turned, and the transformation of urban villages has entered the fast lane. Local decision-making, developer planning, village-level leadership and villagers&; participation are highly motivated. And there is a scene of full bloom. The overcoming of these difficulties is related to the transformation of Guangzhou&;s status as a city, especially as Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area rises to the national strategy, and Guangzhou is one of the most important core cities. Great changes have taken place in policy, strength, support, long-term and other aspects. This is also the best moment since the transformation and promotion of villages in citi《广州市“城中村”改造三年(2018-2020年)行动计划》 formulated in 2018, the renovation of 272 villages in the city will be completed, including the micro-renovation of some villages in the city. The renovation of Lijiao Village in Haizhu District is just a drop in the ocean, and many villages in the city are in full swing … The renovation of villages in the city and the demolition of illegal buildings are carried out simultaneously, and the area of illegal buildings demolished in 2018 will reach 35 million square meters. But in the transformation of the village in the city, it is also a green light for some villagers who have been building illegally for a long time. The author saw from a piece of demolition compensation information that some village-in-the-city renovations not only compensated rural planned houses, but also compensated illegal buildings with a long history, such as those built in 2009 according to 1:1. And the resettlement of villages in Guangzhou basically adopts the original site resettlement. It has further promoted the enthusiasm of the villagers and ensured the smooth progress of the village in the city. The transformation of villages in Guangzhou is the most important embodiment of improving the appearance of Guangzhou. A city with modern urban characteristics in culture, environment, architecture and atmosphere is the image that Guangzhou shows to the world and the need of global cities. The reconstruction of the village in the city is not a complete demolition and construction, and the micro-reconstruction of the village in the city is also an indispensable part. The most important thing is to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of Guangzhou, especially the buildings within the Guangzhou Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection Zone in Liwan District and Yuexiu District. Modern architecture is the symbol of the times, and historical architecture is the inside story of the city, while the transformation of villages in cities (including micro-transformation) is to make the city shine better.
