“…The post-1980s economic reform focused mainly on solving housing tensions and repaying infrastructure debts and carried out the large-scale restructuring of urban functions and the renovation of old cities [1]. In the 1990s and 2000s, China entered a period of rapid urbanization, building major infrastructure, renewing old industrial bases, preserving historical districts, transforming urban villages, and vigorously developing the real estate and financial industries to promote "suppression of the second industry and development of the third industry" [2]. Since the early 2010s, China has planned for high-quality people-centered development, with a focus on integrated governance and community development to improve urban governance capacity and to solve urban problems through urban renewal initiatives [3].…”

After decades of development, China’s urban renewal is facing the problems of inequality and intolerance, neglecting vulnerable groups and triggering gentrification. These problems are rarely quantified and draw limited public concerns. To promote an inclusive urban development, we proposed a framework for the inclusive evaluation of urban renewal spaces, thus increasing the understanding of inclusive urban renewal. An evaluation method based on the theory of inclusive development was proposed, and it includes two steps. First, the evaluation index system of inclusive development at the community scale was created, including 24 indicators from five aspects: cognitive well-being, vulnerable groups, affordable public service facilities, economic agency, and environmental factors. Second, a combination of the CRITIC-TOPSIS method and k-means algorithm was used to grade and classify the inclusive development of the community. In this study, multisource data were used to measure the inclusiveness of communities in the core area of Wuhan’s inner city. The results show that the renewed communities are more inclusive than the unrenewed communities; however, even in the more inclusive and renewed communities, a lack of protection for vulnerable groups and a certain level of gentrification still exists.

“…The governments in developing counties have also made efforts towards urban renewal. The Indian government launched the "smart cities mission" in 2015 [4,5,9,10], while the Chinese government started the "shantytown renovation program" in the early 2000s [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Improving the landscape quality of residential communities is one of the main aspects of urban renewal, as residential communities are closely connected with people's daily life.…”

Due to continuous urbanization and an increasing need to improve living quality, citizens’ pursuit of landscape quality in residential communities is constantly improving in developing countries, e.g., China. This is especially true in the period when citizens were locked down in their home cities or communities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Studying whether the current landscape in residential communities still meets citizens’ needs is of significance as it is crucial for city planners, landscape architects, and city managers. In this study, we used the analytic hierarchy process method to evaluate the landscape quality of five residential communities, using the case city of Yangling, China. In total, 516 valid questionnaires were collected in May 2022. The results showed that good organization of residential roads and pedestrian systems, the rationality of rest facilities, and the hierarchical richness of plants were the most important aspects for residents. Based on these, optimization design strategies were summarized. We hope to provide a reference for future landscape optimization of existing residential communities, especially in developing countries.

“…In the past four decades, China's urban regeneration has occurred simultaneously with reform and opening up [1]. Following major industrialization and urbanization in the 1980s and dramatic urban expansion in the 1990s, the urbanization process has moved toward urban redevelopment in existing built-up regions in order to maximize the efficiency and intensive use of land resources [2].…”

Public participation is increasingly becoming a necessary content in community regeneration in China, though there is a lack of evaluation of the public participation process. This study explores a method for evaluating the public participation process, with the aim of improving the effectiveness of public participation. Based on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) and using the analysis method of structural equation modeling, this study has preliminarily established the evaluation model of public participation processes represented by “Expectation–Perception–Satisfaction–Trust (EPST)”, while taking a case study in Nanjing for empirical study. The results show that to improve general satisfaction and public trust in those activities participated in, it is necessary to upgrade public expectation and the public perceived quality at the same time. This study believes that the entire investigation and understanding of public demands before regeneration is the premise to improving the regeneration effect. For community regeneration in Chinese cities, the key is to mobilize public participation, while a detailed understanding of residents’ needs for community environment and community services is an important part of enhancing the effectiveness of regeneration. This study believes that in community regeneration, actively organizing various participation activities and giving full play to the role of local government and third-party organizations are conducive to enhancing the public’s satisfaction with regeneration.
