This paper refers to the perspective of the “right to the city” to examine whose rights count in China's urban development contexts and proposes a cross-class alliance that engages both migrants and local citizens. The alliance itself will have
substantial political implications, overcoming the limited level of rights awareness that mainly rests on distributional justice in China. The discussions are supported by an analysis of empirical data from the author's field research in Guangzhou, which

This article examines ambiguous propertyrights through a taxonomic and exploratory account of post-colonial rural housing in Chinese Hong Kong. The case of indigenous village housing in post-colonial Hong Kong under a mature system of the rule

of the case study for evaluating ambiguities in propertyrights in China are also discussed.

and evaluates several kinds of property. The common system fosters an integrated approach, which is less likely to emerge under state or private property regimes.
