Abstract:

Urban renewal is important to global sustainable development and high-quality development strategy in China. In order to understand the spatial-temporal evolution path and driving mechanisms of sustainable urban renewal, this article reviewed the research on sustainable urban renewal, summarized the spatial-temporal evolution path and regional differentiation of sustainable urban renewal, analyzed the driving factors, mechanisms, and spatial response modes, and put forward the research prospects and policy recommendations. The study shows that sustainable urban renewal has changed from problem oriented to sustainable goal oriented. There are regional differentiations in the process of globalization, localization, and temporal evolution. Geographical environment influences the spatial pattern while stakeholders decide the organizational pattern of sustainable urban renewal, and the interaction of these two systems produces five spatial response modes including government-dominant urban redevelopment, government-dominant urban renaissance, market-dominant real estate development, market-dominant industrial development, and multi-stakeholder participation modes. Future research on sustainable urban renewal needs to focus on global sustainable development and high-quality development strategies, quantitatively analyze the driving factors, main control factors, and collaborative mechanism of sustainable urban renewal, as well as establish governance method library and policy set. In practice, China should improve the multi-scale policy, management system, and participation mechanism of multiple stakeholders.
