Discussion on the Historical Evolution and Renewal Model of Urban Workers'Settlements in Yunnan Province
As the main form of housing in China during the planned economy pe-riod,worker settlements held a very important historical position and still affect China's urban pattern to this day.With the changes of the times and the rapid development of the market economy,it seems that the working class is gradually withdrawing from its dominant position in society,and worker settlements are gradually decaying or even being demolished.Due to the fact that worker settle-ments carry traces of life from special periods,they are an important carrier of ur-ban development memories.The article analyzes the development and evolution of some worker settlements in urban areas of Yunnan,summarizes the changes in the pattern of worker settlements in Yunnan during different periods,and com-bines the State Council's"Guiding Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas"to explore the theoretical thinking and practical possibility of upgrading existing worker settlements in urban areas based on their characteristics and current situation.
