New Trend: From “Urban Renewal” to “Urban Rejuvenation”

Under the influence of communication technology, urban agglomeration structure presents the phenomenon of “superiority agglomeration and overall dispersion”. It turns out that the picture of the “garden city” we say is possible, because the traditional functional boundaries will become more blurred, and the spatial functions will become more complex.

From the circle of spreading big pie to the networked urban spatial structure, we originally said that the urban space is spreading big pie, from several rings to the network structure. Why is the vacancy rate so high when the U.S. economy is growing so fast? It is probably a result of the impact of traditional communication technology on location theory.

And everyone is watching short video, short video has become a part of life, but it brings new impact on traditional life. After statistics, the average person now brushes 168 minutes of short video, 3 hours a day. These three hours cause us to form a house-bound lifestyle and experience, which brings a very significant impact on the original spatial urban structure.

According to the data reported by 36 Kr, nearly 2.4 million physical stores in the country are closed, which can not be blamed on live delivery, but live delivery is an important initiator, accounting for about 10% of the total number of entities in the country, resulting in unemployment of 3 million people. There is a statistic that when the number of electricity businesses increases by 1%, the number of local shops will decrease at a rate of 0.16%. This is a reality we have to face.

In this context, how do we view urban renewal? We say that urban renewal is not enough to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s cities. Therefore, we put forward the theory of “urban revival”.

The biggest difference between urban renewal and urban renewal is that “urban renewal” is a concept in the 1950s, which only targets the material development space of the city, which is far from enough. The theory of “urban renewal” is material space, scientific and technological innovation, industrial economy, social vitality and cultural inheritance. Therefore, we have to face the era of urban renewal again, to face the challenge.
