Planning policies have greatly influenced the development of urban villages, an informal phenomenon in which rural settlements are encircled by urban environments during China's rapid urbanization process. "The National New-type Urbanization Plan (2014-2020)" of China initiated in 2014 provides a new perspective on planning policy research on China' urban villages. Hangzhou, a pioneer city that adopts new-type urbanization in China and combines the characteristics of rapid urban growth, mountainous urban terrains, and a long cultural history, serves as a typical case study to compare the planning policies responding to the informality of urban villages guided by traditional and new-type urbanization. This study employed the content analysis method to analyze the evolution of Hangzhou's planning policies of urban villages since the reform and opening up and used one-way ANOVA to analyze the differences in rental levels among the urban villages developed under the planning policies of different urbanization stages, aiming to compare the influences of planning policies guided by traditional and new-type urbanization on urban village development. The results indicate that the policies allowing some degree of informality in the new-type urbanization stage achieve a higher rental level for urban villages than the policies of the traditional urbanization stages that restrict and prevent informality. The findings of this research suggest that informality may provide advantages that formality cannot replace and provides important policy implications for rapidly urbanizing countries.
规划政策极大地影响了城市村庄的发展，这是中国快速城市化进程中农村住区被城市环境包围的一种非正式现象。2014 年启动的《国家新型城镇化规划（2014-2020 年）》为中国城市村庄规划政策研究提供了新视角。杭州是中国新型城镇化的先行者，具有快速城市增长、山地城市地形和悠久文化历史的特点，是一个典型案例，可用于比较传统和新型城镇化指导下应对城市村庄非正式性的规划政策。本研究采用内容分析法分析了改革开放以来杭州城市村庄规划政策的演变，并使用单向方差分析比较了不同城镇化阶段规划政策下开发的城市村庄的租金水平差异，旨在比较传统和新型城镇化指导下的规划政策对城市村庄发展的影响。结果表明，新型城镇化阶段允许一定程度非正式性的政策为城市村庄带来的租金水平高于限制和防止非正式性的传统城镇化阶段的政策。本研究的结果表明，非正式性可能提供形式化无法替代的优势，并为快速城市化国家提供了重要的政策启示。
