Abstract: A large number of villages in China are confronting complex problems about social-spatial issues, including declining living environment, inadequate capacity or motivation on self-regeneration, as well as rigid supporting policies. This paper takes the practice of 42 experimental pilot villages from the ‘Joint Creation of Better Environment and Harmonious Society’ movement as examples, analyzing their practical contents and methodologies, to explore the approaches that make villagers dominate the rural regeneration. Through organizing and articulating the contents of spatial actions and their implementation process, the establishment of self-organizing mechanism, as well as innovations on policies and system, this paper summarizes the path of self-organized rural regeneration from the perspective of space-governance-policy, which eventually would facilitate the realization of a rural pattern with co-construction, co-management and sharing in this new era.
