The main obstacle to alleviating inequalities in China remains the urban-rural divide, formally constituted by the Household Registration System, that splits the population into two groups: urban-recorded and rural-recorded residents.

Abstract

The main obstacle to alleviating inequalities in China remains the urban-rural divide, formally constituted by the Household Registration System, that splits the population into two groups: urban-recorded and rural-recorded residents. Such discrimination has generated a tireless migration flow from one realm to the other, exacerbating spatial segregation. This paper discusses the transitional condition of the Chinese countryside, conceived as an experimental field forging a new type of rurality. Alongside problematic design-related themes, promising arguments emerge, whose outcomes challenge the conventional notions of rural and urban.
