Abstract: Based on the investigation of Xibali village in Xi'an city of China, both the construction and the transition of residential space of urban villages have been studied. Conclusions can be given as follows: 1. Many people in urban villages become city dwellers because of land condemnation. They give up the traditional agriculture, rent their houses to others and live with them. 2. According to different plane styles and frontages of houses, the houses have been utilized efficiently based on three usage patterns, i.e., residential rooms for householders, residential rooms for others and being rented as stores. 3. The original good residential conditions have been destroyed by the changes of plane style and height of houses due to their reconstruction and extension.
