Although official information about the amounts and spatial distribution of ''chéngzhōngcūn''s is rare and often not publicly available, a substantial literature has documented the emergence and evolution of many urban villages in large Chinese cities since the launching of the opening up reform (1978). Official data exist for Guangzhou and Beijing metropolitan areas, which respectively counted 138 and 876 ''chéngzhōngcūn''s as of 2008 (figures cited by Zhou 2017; Zheng ''et al''. 2009; Wu 2016). In other provincial capitals such as Wuhan and Kunming, 147 and 288 urban villages have been identified (Liu and He 2010). In Shenzhen, the total number of ''chéngzhōngcūn''s was estimated as 241 in 2005 (Song and Zenou 2012; Wang ''et al''. 2009), while in Zhuhai my research has identified | Although official information about the amounts and spatial distribution of ''chéngzhōngcūn''s is rare and often not publicly available, a substantial literature has documented the emergence and evolution of many urban villages in large Chinese cities since the launching of the opening up reform (1978).
