Definition
动迁 refers to the process of relocating residents or businesses from an area that is being redeveloped — typically through government-led urban renewal or infrastructure projects. It is a compound verb-noun: the verbal sense describes the act of carrying out such relocation, while the noun sense denotes the relocation process itself. The term often carries an administrative or official tone and implies that the move is compulsory, not voluntary.
