Abstract

This paper explores how to better develop a people-centered urban renewal project in the context of Shenzhen’s urban villages. In the beginning, this paper explains the background of the emergence of urban villages in Shenzhen and other major cities. Under this context, the participatory observation method is used to analyze the common problems in the renovation of urban villages in Shenzhen, and the housing affordability problem of the original residents for the newly constructed apartments is raised. Presenting the Nantou Ancient City in Shenzhen as positive empirical evidence, this paper explores two recommendations, starting with an emphasis on protective renovation to avoid a short-term boost in housing prices. Following discussion of urban renewal construction projects should not be limited to architectural space. Instead, inclusive community building is still the key to maintaining the former residents and attracting more young people. The condensed conclusion highlights the unity of these two viewpoints and reemphasizes the importance of people-centered development in urban villages.
