As the most intense "land battlefield" between "nationalization" and "collective ownership", the approach of urban village renewal has been tugging at the social housing issues, the passivity of urban planning policies, and the interest conflict under the urban-rural dual system. This study aims to investigate the changes in the recent renewal model under the policy of comprehensive renovation (zonghezhengzhi). Based on the reviewing of urban village evolution history, we investigated two renewal projects as representatives of state-led and private sector-led pioneeringly turn urban villages into rental public housing by renovation, which is different from the demolition-reconstruction method in the past. While focusing on the new communal facilities that are characteristic of the new renewal model, the status of building renovation and the mode of operation were set as evaluation items. The results show that, firstly, the flexibility of converting land ownership relationships, as long-term lease contracts for village buildings between developers and village collectives, is fundamental to the pattern shift in redevelopment. Secondly, whether state-led or private sector-led, the implementation of these projects has significantly improved the quality of the built and living environment in urban villages. Thirdly, the government's subsidized support for rental public housing in urban village redevelopment projects suggests that the latest urban renewal policies under the land regime show efforts to resolve urban housing conflicts in the face of high housing prices.
