历史城市的“再生”实践及关键问题:以西安市为例

The Regeneration of Chinese Historic Cities and Its Bottlenecks in Implementation: a Case Study of Xi'an

"城市再生"理论的一个突出特征是强调城市建设目标的多样性与综合性,并认为促进经济发展与实现社会、文化与环境等其他建设目标同等重要。基于该理论,该文以西安为例,探讨了历史城市的规划策略在"城市再生"过程中的变化,并分析了其中的主要问题与关键因素。西安历史城区的再生实践表明,地方政府拥有过多的自由裁量权,同时,城市规划缺乏完善和有效的实施监管机制。这些也成为城市再生目标得以顺利实现的瓶颈问题。

The theory of urban regeneration emphasizes the multi-faceted and comprehensive urban development aims, which holds that economic development and the realization of social, cultural, environmental, and other development aims are equally important. Based on this theory, the paper explores the transitional urban regeneration policies in the historic city of Xi＇ an, and analyzes several key influencing factors. The regeneration practices in Xi＇an reveals that, when local governments hold excessive discretionary powers in the decision-makings of urban development issues and the city has the lack of effective planning control mechnism, it often becomes the bottleneck in the smooth realization of urban regeneration aims.
