Theoretical Study of Urban Regeneration on the Thinking of the System

摘要

Urban declination, as a common problem in old cities, is common not only in China but also around the world. Urban regeneration thought, originating from developed countries in Western Europe, came into existence as the situation required. It has developed from the urban development thought of urban reconstruction, urban revitalization, and urban renewal. The beginning this paper gives the definition of urban regeneration and urban regeneration system by introducing the evolution of urban regeneration thought and the connotations of urban declination. Next, this paper proceeds to analyzes the constituent elements of the Urban Regeneration System comprehensively, especially the main subsystems. Finally, on the ground of dynamic process of the urban regeneration and the elements of each system, the paper conceives a structure of the urban regeneration system to reveal intrinsic links among the subsystems. In short, the paper is trying to seek a theory on the development of inner cities so as to direct the practice.
