Yingde City Donghua Town Old City Renovation Project

Legal analysis:

1. Different compensations. Land acquisition and demolition are mostly in suburbs and rural areas, mainly wasteland and homestead sites, and compensation is mainly in the form of unified housing and money. The renovation of old cities focuses on building new cities, and renovating the previous buildings that affected the city appearance through investment promotion. Compensation for old houses is mostly in the form of monetary compensation, based on the price of local affordable housing. 2. The subjects are different. The renovation of old cities can be led by the government and participated by enterprises, reflecting the development process of the city, the organization of urban space planning, and the improvement process of buildings and social welfare facilities. Land acquisition and demolition are mainly carried out by government agencies for some major actions, such as flood control, military, highways, railways, national key infrastructure construction, etc. 3. Different purposes. Old city reconstruction refers to the step-by-step transformation and renewal of the entire physical living environment of an old city, partially or entirely, in order to fundamentally improve its labor, life services, and rest conditions. Land acquisition and demolition are activities carried out by the national government in order to achieve national macro-economic and political goals. It is obviously different from the old city reconstruction.
