🏘️ Urban Renewal by Government Co-operating with Developers: How Can People Refuse Urban Renewal? Rights Dilemma After the Wenlin Yuan Incident

This article comments on the difficulties for the public to refuse urban renewal in the urban renewal process after the 2012 Wenlin Yuan forced demolition incident. The author points out that the threshold for starting the urban renewal process is low, and individual opinions are easily ignored by the government and developers (for reference only), and not participating in relevant meetings is equivalent to waiving rights. The article strongly criticizes this mechanism as an infringement on people's private property and freedom of choice.
