A study on the development and planning strategies of innovation spaces driven by community regeneration
With the implementation of the urban renewal movement,although the Guangzhou government has proposed strengthening the scientific research and technical service functions of the central urban districts in building an innovative city,obstacles such as insufficient space,discontinuity,and lack of service facilities have been gradually exposed.As the basic functional unit of a city,a community is also the primary planning cluster of urban renewal,so it is significant to explore how to promote the development of innovation space through community renewal.Based on an analysis of the overall layout and typical case studies,this paper explores the development models and planning strategies for community-type innovation spaces by examining the spatial agglomeration characteristics and main influencing factors of the three types of innovation spaces in Guangzhou:1)Innovation spaces in Guangzhou exhibit evident central agglomeration and polarization,with significant differences in characteristics and influencing factors among the various types of innovation space;2)Utilizing community-based renewal planning is crucial for advancing innovation spaces in central urban areas and revitalizing innovation activity;3)Community-type innovation spaces can be categorized into industry-oriented,knowledge-driven,and incubation-oriented,each type of which has distinct formation mechanisms and spatial models;4)Integrating spatial functional units through community renewal with planning and management processes can facilitate the implementation and enable transmission of planning,and promote the construction of innovation communities.Community regeneration improves hardware facilities and services and focuses on creating an inclusive soft environment.It supports the construction of innovation communities from both physical and spiritual spaces.Through sustainable community regeneration in the central urban area,various modes such as comprehensive renovation,micro renovation,and incremental renovation are adopted to form a cluster of innovative elements with functions such as R&D,living,culture,business,entertainment,and sports.Regarding functional layout,the development units of"community+"have transformed from residential,tertiary,and industrial land to a mix of industrial,commercial,and residential land.By vacating low-efficiency land use and revitalizing idle land resources,the regeneration of existing inefficient space into innovation space transforms cities into diverse and mixed innovation communities.The government leads community revitalization,and the diverse social entities are stimulated to participate in innovation community planning,renovation,construction,management,and operation,including market financing in later stages.Particular attention should be paid to the needs of residents.The district government needs to form a community regeneration plan and integrate it with innovation community development.Through renovating and regenerating existing buildings and land use,technology and creativity groups are attracted to settle in,and innovation returns to the central urban area,thereby a full vitality of old cities grow prosperously and sustainably.Innovation communities are spatial units with functions of technological innovation,leisure and entertainment,and living and residential.They are the basic composition units for building urban innovation spaces and promoting high-quality development.Innovation communities are built as composite functional units for gathering science and technology industries and innovative talents,forming an urban innovation space system.There are three types of innovation communities in the community regeneration mode:industrial-led,knowledge-based,and incubation-oriented.In this case study,Guangzhou city has developed comprehensive control regulations,i.e.,renewal units and regulative detailed planning.However,at present,the two coexist,partially overlapping but not unified,and there is also a problem of inconsistency with the community planning boundary.In the future,the community will be the basic spatial functional unit for planning implementation,covering an average area of about 1-3 km2.The community with a small scope shall be merged,and the community with a large scope shall be divided.Through community renewal,the development of innovation space,the demand for innovation talents,and the management of innovation space are implemented at the community level.Innovation spaces are becoming the key driving force for high-quality urban development in highly urbanized cities internationally.Urban innovation development depends on spatial carriers regarding specific space and place.Different types and scales of innovation spaces constitute the urban innovation ecological system.Communities are the basic units of urban development and governance,which also serve as a fundamental lever for urban renewal.In the context of existing planning practices,community regeneration is critical to supplement the need for innovation spaces and promote high-quality urban development.Therefore,to develop innovation urban spaces,it should actively encourage community renewal to enable the old urban areas to adapt to the requirements of innovation functions,spaces,and groups.From the perspective of planning implementation,the future development of innovation spaces needs to devote more efforts to promoting innovation communities,take renewal as the driving force,take communities as the spatial carrier,delineate the community regeneration planning unit map,and form the mechanism of planning,construction,management and governance of innovation spaces based on communities as the spatial functional unit.
