URBAN REGENERATION AND SOCIAL SPACE RESTRUCTURING:A QUANTITATIVE EMPIRICAL STUDY OF TIANJIN(2000-2020)
The social value and socio-spatial effects of urban regeneration are often overlooked in practice.In recent years,it has become a general consensus in domestic academic circles that"urban regeneration triggers spatial redistribution of diverse social groups".However,specific influencing mechanisms remain unclear and related quantitative empirical analysis is lacked.Taking 61 sub-districts of Tianjin as the research object,this paper carries out an in-depth study based on two categories of basic data:the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of urban regeneration and the census data of each sub-district.Employing tools such as multiple linear regression,geographically weighted regression,and spatial regression models,the paper examines the basic logic and fundamental laws in the social space differentiation and restructuring caused by urban regeneration actions from three aspects,namely,specific correlation,uneven spatial impact,and spatial spillover effect.Comparing Tianjin's empirical evidence with the international experience,this paper summarizes the socio-spatial impact path of urban regeneration and its local characteristics,in the hope of providing useful theoretical support for the high-quality development of Chinese cities in the period of transitioning to optimization of existing urban stocks.
