The first is through acquisition by compulsory purchase on the part of the government, thus transferring the land ownership to the state, and then transfer to the final land user; and the second way is to transfer the land-use rights from the collective ownership body, which is usually the village, to the final land user, such as investors in the manufacturing sector.
Beyond gradualism 21 Ian Cook and Jason Powell (Chapter 7) identify an important trend in China’s emerging cities becoming an ageing urban society. The unique feature of China’s urbanization is that before China even enters a medium level of urbanization the process of ageing has started. However, they argue that we should not see the issue of “ageing” as a problem through the bio-medical gaze – that is, the elderly being disabled, “vulnerable” and a burden on society. Instead, the issue of ageing is intermingled with changing lifestyles and social marginalization.
