Abstract  Since the end of 1990s, urban renewal has realized landscape improvement and neighborhood upgrading through pulling down old houses and building gated communities. The process is known as newbuild gentrification, or slash-and-build gentrification, which is the most representative form of the practice of residential gentrification in Chinese cities. Under the special political and economic context in the transitional period, new-build gentrification that is under the guidance of government has a relatively unique "Chinese face". It is a structural disintegration and "re-urbanization" in partial area promoted by the urban renewal in the way of "slashing old-and-build new", which is different from traditional gentrification in the West that the middle class realizing class replacement in the way of "invasion-and-replacement". As the mainstream model of gentrification of large cities in China, new-build gentrification is the government and capital-oriented improvement of the neighborhood built environment and the social structure achieved through slash-andbuild. Taking the inner city of Nanjing as an example, the paper analyzes the driving mechanism of newbuild gentrification from the perspective of government management of the city, capital circulation and appreciation as well as unbalanced allocation of resources, and then explores the multiple effects of new-build gentrification from urban spatial evolution, social stratification, deprivation of the interests of the replaced group and other aspects.
