Collective spaces in workers\u2019 villages were a crucial mainstay for the novel socialist lifestyle in the 1950s to 1970s period. Since the nationwide reforms initiated in 1978, the once-exclusive workers\u2019 villages have undergone significant changes in many aspects, which have put and are putting pressure on the original private and collective spaces. This doctoral project focuses on collective spaces in workers\u2019 villages situated in Northeast China. From the socio-spatial perspective, this research, based on a historical examination, aims to uncover contemporary societal activities and dwelling practices within the workers\u2019 Village of Powers in Harbin. The insights provided by this project can contribute to the future development of workers\u2019 villages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jury<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Supervisors<\/p>\n<p>Prof. dr.
