Urban regeneration – Building sustainable development in cities

Urban regeneration solves the complex issues of social structure, economic activities, and cultural heritage in developed cities. Urban renewal focuses on solving real environmental problems, especially related to the reconstruction, renovation, and maintenance of buildings.

It is essential to approach urban regeneration from many perspectives, including economic and ecological. There is no fixed method for regeneration, and when new problems are discovered, new solutions must be found - there is no large-scale one-size-fits-all procedure. Urban regeneration emphasizes the integration of local ideas with new lifestyles.

For the cities of the future, in addition to the tangible building renovations, one cannot ignore intangible elements like the humanities, economy, and industry. Only with cooperation between the government and private sectors can urban regeneration create sustainable development in cities.

都市再生計畫 城市永續發展

都市再生是對已開發城市解決社會結構、經濟活動與文化延續等綜合議題，而都市更新較著重於解決實質的環境問題，尤其是建築物的重建、整修及維護。

一個城市的再生是需要用不同的視角，譬如有經濟的視角、生態的視角去看。再生不是一個固定制式的方法，當發現新的問題，就要有新的解決方式。並不是大規模的去做處理，再生強調的是在地的一些想法跟新的生活型態的融合。

都市未來的前景，除了可看見的建築物翻新，內在的人文、經濟、產業也不可忽視，唯有政府和民間攜手配合都市再生的計畫，才能讓城市的未來發展得以永續。
