EXPLORING THE SPATIAL REPRODUCTION MECHANISM OF OLD INDUSTRIAL AREAS IN THE CONTEXT OF URBAN RENEWAL:AN EXAMPLE OF THE OLD INDUSTRIAL AREA OF YAOHAI,HEFEI CITY
Urban renewal is an important driving force for the transformation and reconstruction of urban space in China.As a key link,the renovation of old industrial areas in cities has enormous potential for re-valuation,which becoming a sought after target for local governments,enterprises,and other multi-interest entities.In this context,the theory of production of space provides a new method and perspective for re-searches on urban renewal,which was becoming an important theoretical tool for explaining spatial phenom-ena,spatial problems,and operation mechanisms that occur in the process of urban renewal.The theory holds that space is the production of society,and constructs the theoretical framework of the production pro-cess of material space,spiritual space,and social space,known as spatial triadic dialectics.In order to gain a deeper understanding of urban renewal mechanism,this paper constructs an analytical framework for the in-teraction between multiple factors from different levels of perspective based on the Lefebvre's space produc-tion theory,and takes Yaohai old industrial area in Hefei City as an example,and it is deconstructed from a multidimensional analysis and deduction on the transformation process,and this paper proposes a conceptual model of spatial reproduction mechanism in the renewal process of the old industrial areas.The results indi-cate that:the spatial representation of old industrial areas in the city is reflected in the spatial conception of government based on public interests,while the representational space is the spatial reshaping in the game of multi-benefit subjects,and spatial practice is the spatial creation under the domination of government power.
