Abstract
Overseas Chinese New Villages are residential communities provided by the governments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait for returned overseas Chinese since the mid-20th century. These new villages are not only places for returned overseas Chinese to settle in mainland China and Taiwan, but also carry the overseas Chinese culture, urban planning policies and social recognition needs of a specific period . In today’s world of economic globalization and accelerated urban development, the historical value of overseas Chinese villages and their future development direction have become a hot topic of research. The main purpose of this study is to systematically sort out the historical evolution, cultural background, architectural form and residents’ life of overseas Chinese villages in mainland China and Taiwan, and to analyze their similarities and differences. By comparing the overseas Chinese villages on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of different social systems, urban development strategies and cultural environments on the lives of returned overseas Chinese. In addition, this study also hopes to explore the possibilities of overseas Chinese villages in modern urban renewal and propose feasible protection and development strategies.
