中国城市更新的治理转向

Governance Shift in China' s Urban Regeneration

在城镇化进入存量发展新阶段的背景下，城市更新已成为推动城市高质量发展的关键抓手，治理能力的提升成为其核心，面向城市更新的空间设计则在追求理想空间的技术性基础上不断衍生服务空间治理的制度性内涵。本期专题聚焦“城市更新与设计治理”，通过6篇研究型论文系统呈现了中国城市更新治理转向的理论思考与实践探索。这些研究从更新治理体系构建、设计治理工具转译、社会资本参与模式，以及城市与社区更新实践创新等多视角，共同描绘了一幅中国城市更新从传统建设议题走向现代治理创新的图景。这种转变不仅是城市内涵式发展的技术方法升级，更是社会演进式进步的治理理念变革，体现着中国城市发展正在进入一场深刻的治理转向。

制度转型层面，专题文章从机制、工具、模式、政策等方面解释了城市更新正在经历的全面治理转向。阳建强与马晨曦的研究指出，详细规划已从单纯的技术工具转型为“综合治理平台”，需要建立分层级的精准治理模型和完善“基础+ 弹性”的动态管控机制。王世福团队发现，中国语境下设计治理的正式工具呈现“强制度+ 柔执行”特征，非正式工具则展现出更高的灵活性与包容性，体现了“治而理之”传统理念的现代转译。唐燕与殷小勇通过社会网络分析揭示了北京城市更新中形成的3种典型合作模式，而刘铮与李倩如对706份政策文本的分析表明，老旧小区改造政策经历了从实验探索到机制完善的演进，可复制政策机制清单成为治理创新的重要工具。

实践创新层面，蒋文团队基于重庆实证研究，揭示了政府引导、市场协同和居民主导3种治理模式的差异化影响机制，提出通过建立复合型公共空间等干预手段提升治理效能。芮光晔与黎子铭以广东佛山东风村为案例，展示了“点状培育—全域共识—网络激活”的行动框架如何实现社区自我造血，通过参与式工作坊、社区基金与微创投等机制创新，使村民从“旁观者”转变为“建设者”，为城乡社区治理提供了可复制的制度创新范本。

从制度转型的理论性阐释到实践创新的归纳性思考，这些研究共同表明，未来城市更新的成功关键在于探索出多元主体协同的治理创新路径，建立能够有效整合政府、市场、社会各方力量的新型治理体系，激发城市建成环境更新的内生动力。从多元主体协同到参与式设计应用，传统的任务委托式设计工作方式也必然转向过程伴随式服务，设计思维将在城市更新的治理转向中演变为有助于达成空间共识、促成共同行动的“设计治理”，助力实现“人民城市人民建、人民城市为人民”的美好愿景。

Against the backdrop of urbanization entering a new stage of stock development, urban regeneration has become a key lever for promoting high-quality urban development, with the enhancement of governance capacity at its core. Spatial design for urban regeneration, while based on the technical pursuit of ideal spaces, is continuously evolving an institutional connotation that serves spatial governance.

This special issue focuses on “Urban Regeneration and Design Governance,” systematically presenting theoretical reflections and practical explorations on the governance shift in China’s urban regeneration through six research papers. From multiple perspectives such as the construction of regeneration governance systems, the translation of design governance tools, models of social capital participation, and innovations in urban and community regeneration practices, these studies collectively depict a picture of China's urban regeneration transitioning from traditional construction agendas towards modern governance innovation. This shift is not only an upgrade of technical methods for the connotative development of cities but also a transformation of governance philosophy reflecting societal evolutionary progress, indicating that China's urban development is undergoing a profound governance turn.

At the institutional transformation level, the papers explain the comprehensive governance shift underway in urban regeneration from aspects such as mechanisms, tools, modes, and policies. The research by Yang Jianqiang and Ma Chenxi points out that detailed planning has transformed from a purely technical tool into a “comprehensive governance platform,” requiring the establishment of a hierarchical precision governance model and the improvement of a dynamic control mechanism combining “foundation + flexibility.” The team led by Wang Shifu found that formal design governance tools in the Chinese context exhibit characteristics of “strong institutions + flexible implementation,” while informal tools show greater flexibility and inclusivity, reflecting a modern translation of the traditional concept of “governing by ordering.” Through social network analysis, Tang Yan and Yin Xiaoyong revealed three typical cooperation models formed in Beijing’s urban regeneration. Meanwhile, the analysis of 706 policy texts by Liu Zheng and Li Qianru shows that policies for the renovation of old residential compounds have evolved from experimental exploration to mechanism refinement, with replicable policy mechanism lists becoming important tools for governance innovation.

At the practical innovation level, the team led by Jiang Wen, based on empirical research in Chongqing, revealed the differential impact mechanisms of three governance models: government-led, market-led, and resident-led. They proposed enhancing governance effectiveness through interventions such as establishing composite public spaces. Using Dongfeng Village in Foshan, Guangdong as a case study, Rui Guangye and Li Ziming demonstrated how an action framework of “nodal cultivation–area-wide consensus–network activation” can achieve community self-sustenance. Through innovations in mechanisms such as participatory workshops, community funds, and micro-investment, villagers transformed from “bystanders” to “builders,” providing a replicable model of institutional innovation for urban and rural community governance.

From theoretical explanations of institutional transformation to inductive reflections on practical innovation, these studies collectively indicate that the future success of urban regeneration lies in exploring innovative governance pathways that foster multi-stakeholder collaboration, establishing new governance systems capable of effectively integrating the forces of government, market, and society, and stimulating the endogenous dynamism for the regeneration of the built urban environment. From multi-stakeholder collaboration to the application of participatory design, the traditional task-commissioned design approach is inevitably shifting towards a process accompanying service model. Design thinking will evolve into “design governance” within the governance shift of urban regeneration, aiding in achieving spatial consensus and facilitating collective action, thereby contributing to the realization of the aspirational vision of “Cities by the people and for the people.”
