摘　　要：While China and India have both experienced large-scale urbanization in recent decades,a substantial proportion of their urban population lives in various forms of informal settlements.The redevelopment of informal settlements takes place in major cities of both countries,but the outcomes vary significantly.In Guangzhou,the redevelopment of urban villages often leads to upscale real estate development and significant improvement in the living conditions of villagers.In Mumbai,slum redevelopment provides free rehabilitation housing for slum dwellers,but their housing quality and service provision remain limited compared to middle-class residents.Drawing on comparative historical analysis and extensive fieldwork conducted in China and India from 2016 to 2019,this study demonstrates that the divergent outcomes of urban redevelopment are primarily shaped by the different models of urban governance in China and India.Whereas urban governance is coordinated in China,it is transactional in India.The two models of urban governance shape the policy process in distinct ways and lead to varied redevelopment outcomes.The comparison demonstrates that urban governance is a multilevel process shaped by the distribution of authority across governmental levels and the interaction between state and non-state actors.作为世界上最大的两个发展中国家,中国和印度在过去几十年经历了大规模的城市化与快速的经济增长;同时,两国相当高比例的城市人口居住在各种形式的“非正规住宅”中,对城市的可持续发展构成了挑战。以广州的城中村改造和孟买的贫民窟改造为例,探讨不同类型的城市治理模式如何影响城市更新,数据主要来源于2016年至2019年在广州和孟买的田野调查。通过比较研究,揭示城市治理是复杂的多层治理,如何促进不同层级政府部门之间的沟通和协调、如何推动政府部门与社会力量的合作,是实现有效和包容性治理的关键。
