Urban-Rural Integration and Coordinated Development Investigation 
—Evaluation of Linguistic Landscapes in Urban Villages of Guangzhou

This study examines the linguistic landscape features and variations in urban villages through the cases of Kangle Village and Liede Village in Guangzhou, employing a three-dimensional spatial theoretical framework. The research reveals that Kangle Village predominantly features unofficial signage and Mandarin usage, whereas Liede Village demonstrates a marked prominence of official bilingual (Chinese-English) signage. Significant disparities were observed in residents’ perceptions of and sense of belonging to these linguistic landscapes. The findings indicate that linguistic landscapes not only mirror sociocultural transformations and identity negotiations during urban-rural integration processes, but also yield concrete strategies for optimizing language planning and signage management in urban village redevelopment initiatives.
