摘要

A suburban village (城郊村) is a type of urban village located on the fringes of urbanization in China, and where rural life and rural settlements are being jeopardized by real estate speculation. Suburban villages epitomize the cur-rent status of transitional Chinese contemporary vernacular landscapes Our paper focuses on the case of Wangzhai village, located in Wenzhou’s out-skirts, and which has been the object of a series of contradictive plans over the last ten years. Wangzhai village also has the peculiarity of being located within the expansion plan of a major Sino-American university campus, which strongly impacted the urban development of the area. Our study looks at this phenomenon to understand the current practices for urban fringe planning and design in China.
