Influenced by China’s New Rural Polices (the Chinese government’s campaign to “construct a New Socialist Countryside”), Shangzhuang New Village (SNV) is an example of a re-organized new village. Construction of this village commenced in 2010 and was proclaimed finished in 2013. This study on the differences between the master plan of SNV and its realization aims to understand the approach taken for village reconstruction. According to the analysis of SNV im plementation content items and participants’ roles and responsibilities, the reasons for differences between the master plan and its final condition were clarified, and the issues concerning village reconstruction were explored. Finally, this paper concludes by presenting the problems on imple mentation of the Master Plan, and presents some recommendations for sustainable development of village reconstructions.
