摘要：

This paper explores how and why an award-winning, government model of rehabilitating dilapidated housing - the Ju'er Hutong project - was suspended and not replicated elsewhere in Beijing. Despite the rhetoric of improving the living conditions for local residents, this paper finds that, under Beijing's Old and Dilapidated Housing Redevelopment (ODHR) program, local governments and local State-Owned-Enterprises (SOEs) built growth coalitions to accumulate wealth (exchange value) at the expense of providing local residents with adequate places to live and work (use value). As a result, housing models with a higher exchange value rather than a higher use value were favored in the environmental decision-making process. This study will offer insight into the politics of housing redevelopment in China's transitional economy.
