Cinzia Losavio, PhD in Geography and Urban Planning from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (2022). Postdoctoral researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) as part of the China CoREF project (CNRS | Inalco), member of Géographie-cités Research Unit, will be presenting part of her current research at the Department of Geography and Resource Management of the Chinese University of Hong Kong on June 25.
Over the past decade, China’s urban development model has entered a period of profound restructuring, marked by shifting relations between land urbanization, demographic incorporation, and territorial governance. In this evolving context, differentiated categories of internal migrants are increasingly positioned at the center of local development strategies.
Focusing more specifically on new guaranteed and subsidized housing projects in the cities of Zhuhai and Shenzhen, this presentation examines how processes of residential stabilization, social differentiation, and selective incorporation of migrant populations are reshaping urban production, public policy instruments, and metropolitan spatial configurations. More broadly, the seminar reflects on the evolving relationships between mobility, urbanization, and governance in contemporary Chinese cities.
This event is co-organized with the Department of Geography and Resource Management of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (GRM@CUHK Department of Geography and Resource Management 地理與資源管理學系)
