Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION
How can architecture help residents of old urban areas improve their living conditions and encourage community participation?
ABSTRACT
To enhance the living conditions for residents in old urban areas, the Chinese government has developed a series of policies in recent years at renovating and upgrading old residential neighbourhoods. Additionally, these policies encourage cities to utilize vacant land or buildings near communities to construct multi-purpose community centers.
This project aims to establish a community centre within Jinan's historic commercial district, addressing the lack of essential services in the neighbourhood. It encourages residents to forge connections within the centre, fostering community engagement and psychological attachment, thereby transforming the facility into a social hub for local life.
Urban renewal has improved people's living conditions and brought many benefits. However, the large-scale urban renewal can cause a certain degree of damage to cities. Wu Liangyong proposed the theory of organic urban renewal, exploring urban renewal based on sustainable development. Community renewal is an important part of urban renewal. People have begun to consider how community architecture can foster positive interpersonal relationships among residents and how it should be integrated into the community from a humanistic perspective. Intergenerational practices have fostered meaningful relationships between people of diJerent backgrounds and age groups, enabling them to establish a sense of community and enhancing cohesion.
