Organic Revitalization of Urban Leftover Space:Evidence in Zibo
The regional transformation in industrial structure and radical urbanization have led to indeterminant spaces of multifarious dimensions in Chinese cities,which lack specific definitions and efficient utilization.These spaces,referred to as"urban leftover space"in urban morphology studies,afforded considerable stock resources in response to climate responsiveness and social sustainability.This study focuses on the formation factors and conceptual definition of urban leftover spaces,taking Zibo as an empirical case.It introduces beneficial attempts made by the city to explore the organic revitalization of these spaces.It comprehensively analyzes their characteristics through the adaptation of existing resources,the introduction of new industrial formats,and the integration of public resources into sustainable urban development.The research provides empirical references for unlocking hidden resources in fringe spaces and achieving sustainable development in Chinese urban development.
