Peng, Hui & Jianping Rye
To avoid the defects of passive urbanization in the rapid urbanization process, the purpose of this paper is to put forward the idea of participatory urbanization, analyzing its advantages over passive urbanization and how such an urbanization method can be achieved. The methodologies employed for this paper include documentation and comprehensive analysis. There are two approaches to help peasants in the suburban area participate in the urbanization process: accelerating rural labor force transfer with the development of service industries and enhancing the capability of peasants to share value increments in their land under an innovative property rights arrangement and compensation method for requisitioned land. These arrangements can guarantee and promote peasantss rights and interests, thereby bringing about remarkable economic and social benefits for the society as a whole. This research leads to the conclusion that urbanization should promote rather than violate peasantss rights and interests. Participatory urbanization is preferred over passive urbanization in many aspects. As a policy recommendation, government should promote participatory urbanization in suburban areas.
