Since 2009 Beijing started carrying out the large scale transformation of "urban villages".This change in the rural society led by the government exerted an important influence over the floating population concentrated communities in rural areas bordering the city.This article examines the Beijing "urban village" transformation pattern,assessing the consequences of "urban village" transformation and developmental difficulties the surrounding areas of "urban village" may encounter,and arguing that cooperative governance need to be sought to deal with the social issues of the floating population concentrated communities in rural areas bordering the cities.Beijing has the fundamental conditions to achieve the cooperative governance of the floating population concentrated communities,with the framework of cooperative govenance being the urban government as the dominant,rural organizations as the hinge,community members as the core,social groups and the social units(enterprises) as the support,and professional NGOs as the booster.Under this framework,Beijing can make overall planning for coordinated development of unurbanized areas by transforming living facilities and innovating social management system.
