This study focuses on the transformation of Zhangjiang Science City from a township industrial hub to a key national high-tech industrial park. Using Xiangnan Community, one of the first resettlement housing projects from the 1990s, as a case study, the research examines the development trajectory of the science city and the interactions between its two main groups of migrants: resettled residents and the technological middle class. The findings reveal that resettled residents played a crucial role in the early stages of the science city's development as a source of labor and a consumer base, successfully integrating into the community through urban renewal initiatives. Meanwhile, the technological middle class, a pivotal force in the city's growth, faces challenges stemming from an urban environment that does not fully meet their needs. Policymakers must address these issues by emphasizing ecological livability and talent retention, improving settlement conditions to ensure sustainable development.
