What is an urban renewal project?

Urban renewal is a necessary and planned transformation activity for areas in the city that are not suitable for modern urban social life. The earliest seminar on urban renewal was held in the Netherlands on 1958. The meeting stipulated the contents of urban renewal, including the repair and transformation of the houses where one lives, and called for the improvement of streets, parks, green spaces and bad residential areas as soon as possible to form a comfortable living environment and a beautiful urban appearance. At present, China's urban renewal research is carried out by Shenzhen Planning and Research Institute. Since Shenzhen faced the objective fact that the land was unsustainable for the first time in 2005, Shenzhen Planning Institute has participated in several urban renewal projects in Shenzhen and studied and formulated urban renewal policies in Shenzhen. Senior planners and leaders of the college often attend academic seminars on urban renewal.

1. What's the difference between urban renewal and old city reconstruction?

1. "Urban renewal" and "old city reconstruction" are two aspects of urban development planning, with both similarities and differences. In the exploration and practice of urban renewal in Shenzhen, Shenzhen Planning Institute explained two concepts in detail: "Urban renewal" is complicated and was first put forward at the seminar held in the Netherlands in 1958. Urban renewal is not only the transformation of physical space, but also involves economy, culture, community, industry and many other aspects, which need the cooperation of many aspects; The transformation of the old city refers to the step-by-step transformation and renewal of all the material living environment of the old city in order to fundamentally improve the labor, living service and rest conditions of the old city. The transformation of the old city is mainly based on demolition, urban management and government+developers.

2. Although "urban renewal" and "old city reconstruction" are different, they are both positive plans for urban development, especially urban renewal, which is a process of constantly transforming people's lifestyles, conditions and environment and making them beautiful.

3. In short, after urbanization reaches a certain stage, it is necessary to push forward the old and reform because of the improvement of urban space and urban quality. Although urban renewal and shantytown transformation have their own colors, which are suitable for different old transformation situations, in the process of urban development and transformation, the two models complement each other and promote the old transformation to flourish.
