Abstract
This paper discusses the development of residential zones and public housing projects in capital Nanjing in the 1930s.I argue that the rezoning of Nanjing had provided a legitimate reason for the China State to regulate urban living.By contrasting the zoning and housing proposals and the actual projects developed,this paper discusses China attempt to hide poverty from the glamour of the capital.The State had showed an intention to separate the poor from the rich,thus creating the social and spatial segregation in Nanjing.This paper illustrates how the State's plan contradicted with the wishes and needs of the common people.
