Modeling urban redevelopment:A novel approach using time-series remote sensing data and machine learning

Accurate mapping and timely monitoring of urban redevelopment are pivotal for urban studies and decisionmakers to foster sustainable urban development.Traditional mapping methods heavily depend on field surveys and subjective questionnaires,yielding less objective,reliable,and timely data.Recent advancements in Geographic Information Systems(GIS)and remote-sensing technologies have improved the identification and mapping of urban redevelopment through quantitative analysis using satellite-based observations.Nonetheless,challenges persist,particularly concerning accuracy and significant temporal delays.This study introduces a novel approach to modeling urban redevelopment,leveraging machine learning algorithms and remote-sensing data.This methodology can facilitate the accurate and timely identification of urban redevelopment activities.The study’s machine learning model can analyze time-series remote-sensing data to identify spatio-temporal and spectral patterns related to urban redevelopment.The model is thoroughly evaluated,and the results indicate that it can accurately capture the time-series patterns of urban redevelopment.This research’s findings are useful for evaluating urban demographic and economic changes,informing policymaking and urban planning,and contributing to sustainable urban development.The model can also serve as a foundation for future research on early-stage urban redevelopment detection and evaluation of the causes and impacts of urban redevelopment.

Spatial restructuring and the logic of industrial land redevelopment in urban China: Ⅳ. A case study of jointly redevelopment by multi-actors

Within the inventory era, urban shrinkage characterized by economic decline and space decay has been widely witnessed in China. The modes and trajectories of urban redevelopment have thus become areas of major concern for both policymakers and scholars. Taking the multi-actor participation nature of redevelopment, this paper stemming from the game-theoretical approach demonstrates in empirical terms on two major fronts. First, the redevelopment of industrial land without the transfer of land use right is shown to be deadlocked by the incapacitation of the original land-user and unlocked with the participation of the new developer. Second, the preference of the original land-user to maximize its interests by operating by itself rather than continue to cooperate with the new developer is observed in the post-redevelopment stage. Therein, the entrepreneurial local government acts only as a “mediator” between the two market entities and tends not to directly intervene in their cooperation. Thus that, it is the reasonable distribution of potential benefits or the pricing of different rights in the land property right bundle rather than their definition that matters more for land redevelopment. Because the delineation of land property rights has never been a problem in a mature land market, particularly for stock industrial land.

Brownfield Redevelopment Toward Sustainable Urban Land Use in China

Brownfield redevelopment is a new urban land use strategy to pursue the ideal of sustainable development. It relieves environmental pressure and resolves the glaring contradiction between urban land idleness and urban sprawl. It addresses issues of urban land use and farmland protection in China. This paper compares brownfield with greenfield, and defines brownfield and its redevelopment. It elaborates general and special government policies for this sustainable land use strategy in the context of China. General policies contain two aspects: clarifying brownfield redevelopment's priority in Chinese urban planning and land use and setting a general quantitative redevelopment target. The extent of the government's special policies, which aim at coordinating three factors in the redevelopment process, namely govern- ments, developers and users, are divided into five areas: statistics and categorization, assessment and remediation, fi- nancial supports and tax incentives, environmental and legal liability, and publicity and guidance. The paper concludes the major functions of different levels of Chinese government in the redevelopment process, i.e. making general strategy, formulating legislation, spectifying regulations and technical standards, estimating and categorizing brownfield sites, drawing up brownfield planning, providing information and financial support, guiding developers, publicizing the strategy to the public, and checking reuse results.

Socioeconomic impact of urban redevelopment in inner city of Ningbo

Since market-oriented economy reform, China has experienced significant changes in urban landscapes and the internal structure of cities. Housing marketization provides an opportunity for households to choose their residences. However, not all households benefit equally from residential relocation. Residential relocation in urban China has relatively strong association with the household’s position within the spectrum from state redistribution to market reward than with life cycles and consequent adjustment of housing demand, which are the primary reasons for residential mobility in a mature market. In this research we focused on social aspects, mainly relating to the impact of urban redevelopment in inner city of Ningbo and the resultant potential housing problem. This research is based on a questionnaire survey that was conducted in three neighborhoods redeveloped at different time periods in the past fifteen years. The findings suggest that new strategy of redevelopment of the integrated envi-ronment of the old city while still improving the living condition for its residents can be heard due to the efforts of many people at various positions. Yet, many things need to be done to change people’s ideas: information and education through newspapers, academic discussions through academic journals, conferences, and reports to decision makers.

Urban Redevelopment, Gentrification and Gentrifiers in Post-reform Inland China: A Case Study of Chengdu, China

Since its process evolved in recent years, the definition of gentrification has expanded to cover different forms of social upgrading, new spaces and new actors around the world. Studies on gentrification in Chinese cities began to take off in the 2000 s. However, they all mainly focused on the newly emerging global cities and there has been a lack of investigation on provincial cities. Furthermore, discussions on gentrifiers′ profiles and their motivations for housing choice are absent from literature on Chinese gentrification. Therefore, this paper aims to assess the relevance of the broad definition of gentrification in provincial Chinese cities through empirical research on urban redevelopment projects in Chengdu, and to examine the characteristics of gentrifiers(as new incoming residents) in it. The results show the rationality of gentrification processes as urban redevelopment in Chengdu, and reveal original outcomes on the corresponding gentrifiers′ profiles and the motivations behind their housing choice, which are different from the general features of gentrifiers in standard Western gentrification research.

Application of CAD redevelopment in process design of stepping-mode laser blanking

To design a stepping-mode laser blanking process,in this study,CAD software was redeveloped based on VBA and a computer interface was established in the process design system. The program employs the modularization method to perform functions including one-key initialization of the process planning environment,creation and deletion of blanking steps,automatic identification of belt coordinates,recognition of the number of blanking steps in each domain,and the output and import of process data. The difficult problem of recognizing CAD block references with the same name in the automatic acquisition of belt coordinates is solved using the selection sets method,which greatly improves the efficiency of the process design,while also guaranteeing rapid development of the flexible data mold in stepping-mode laser blanking.

Dilemma for the Redevelopment of Village and Town Construction Land, Formation Mechanism and Policy Suggestions

Under the context of economy new normal and rapid urbanization, the shift of economic growth, structural adjustment pains as well as pre-stimulus digestion comes coincidentally. The boundary red line of urban growth, the red line of the number of basic farms and the ecology red line makes the local to conserve land. Land stock for village and town construction is a huge amount of potential resources. Redevelopment of land for village and town construction provides ensured land security for the smooth progress of urbanization. Combining village and town construction land use characteristics and making in-depth analysis of the difficulties in the redevelopment of village and town construction and its inner mechanism, policies and suggestions were proposed for the redevelopment of village and town construction land in terms of land property, land price, market allocation, planning, surveillance and so on, so as to provide valuable reference for the smooth redevelopment of village and town construction land, and the system design of villages and towns.

Challenges and Opportunities:the Expanded Government-led HIV/AIDS Programs in China

HIV/AIDS has posed an increasingly serious issue in China. In recent years,Chinese government has taken further intensified efforts to combat HIV/AIDS with high-level political commitment,supportive policy development,increased financial allocation,large-scale of government-led initiatives,expanded international cooperation and great involvement of non-governmental organizations. Meanwhile gaps and challenges coexist impacting the implementation and the results of national HIV/AIDS programs. Thus,further government efforts are needed to improve and tailor the actions to meet the requirement of HIV/AIDS control in China.

Provably Secure APK Redevelopment Authorization Scheme in the Standard Model

The secure issues of APK are very important in Android applications.In order to solve potential secure problems and copyrights issues in redevelopment of APK files,in this paper we propose a new APK redevelopment mechanism(APK-SAN).By exploring sanitizable signature technology,APK-SAN allows the original developer to authorize specified modifier who can redevelop the designated source code of APK files.Our scheme does not require interactions between the developer and modifiers.It can reduce the communication overhead and computational overhead for developers.Especially,the signature of redeveloped APK files is valid and maintains the copyrights.The proposed APK-SAN signature can effectively protect the security of the redeveloped APK files and copyrights of the developer and modifier.

Evolution of Transitional Institutions for Urban Land Redevelopment in China——Case in Guangzhou

Building effective institutions for markets is a great challenge to China's transitional economy. China's experience in establishing urban land markets is characterized by trial and error and the gradual evolution of transitional institutions. Based on archive data and interviews in a neighborhood(Jinhuajie) of Guangzhou,this research reveals that China's land redevelopment in the past two decades has followed an approach of partial and gradual reform,which was structured by the gradual evolution of transitional institutions to speed up local land redevelopment within the existing property rights system. Transitional institutions,including highly compensated residents' land use rights,in-kind land lease payment,flexible control on development rights of developers and short-term actual ownership of work units,are generated by the local government sequentially to dispel existing land use rights of different land users and make further development be able to follow market mechanisms.

Urban Redevelopment and Rehabilitation for Detroit

Detroit has been one of the leading cities in the 20th century in the US. Manufacturing, especially, automobile industry created and continued the thriving economy in Detroit, MI in the early to mid-1900s. When outsourcing impacted the industry, people began to leave the city. That turned into a demographic catastrophe in Detroit. Economy had continuously fallen and many of the properties were foreclosed. After the housing market crash in 2008, a big economic crisis effected all country. After such a strong economic crisis, Detroit has been desperately in need of economic revival which has begun to turn around very slowly in last 10 years. In this paper, Detroit has been investigated through the experienced constructional problems. Sustainable solutions for Detroit are discussed in a broader aspect. The main purpose of the research is to understand the current problems in construction in Detroit after a decade of the economic crisis and bring sustainable solutions for urban redevelopment and rehabilitation for Detroit. Paper also details the problems in Detroit area, reasons behind the complications, components/parameters, constraints/limitations, solutions, people involved and expected results.

城镇低效用地再开发实践与进展综述

城镇低效用地再开发是城市化发展到一定阶段后改善城镇生活居住环境、推动城镇化高质量发展的必然举措。本文在回顾城镇低效用地再开发政策沿革基础上,梳理低效用地再开发的相关概念,对低效用地的产生原因及再开发动因开展分析,对各地近年来的具体实践进行总结并提炼模式,分析目前城镇低效用地再开发所面临的困难挑战并给出了相关建议。研究认为,城镇低效用地的形成涉及城市发展阶段、资源禀赋、功能结构、土地权益以及城建管理等多方因素,目前各地低效用地再开发实践已形成多种改造模式、激励措施和补偿方式,低效用地再开发面临判别标准、产权类型、收益分配、价值显化等诸多难题,未来需要从法律、政府、标准、产权、资本和功能等多角度综合搭建实施路径。

生态环境保护中的尺度政治与正义实现:以A市绿中村改造为例

生态环境保护往往面临着保护责任和发展权益在整体社会与保护区局部群体间公平配置的难题。由于权益配置是不同层级政府与局部群体间博弈的结果,文章引入尺度政治与环境正义的理论框架,梳理用于解析生态环境保护中正义格局形成与演化的逻辑路径,并以中部某省会城市生态保护区内的村庄改造为例进行实证。研究发现:在未事先落实保护区居民发展权益的情况下,自上而下的刚性生态环境保护易造成不同尺度主体间的矛盾,表现为低尺度的居民发展权益受制于高尺度政府主体的保护要求;尺度重构成为前者寻求正义的一种非正规途径,表现为低尺度的居民寻求更高层级政府的介入,将其发展诉求的响应尺度上移,从而赋予发展与保护同等话语权,迎来环境正义实现的契机。诉诸非正规途径寻求正义本身也说明,中国城市生态环境保护中,缺乏保障低尺度群体合理权益的正规途径。文章结合理论与实证研究为此提供了解决思路。

为更新而租地——重新审视政府主导型租地更新模式

面对外部产业转移和内部要素价格上涨的压力,以城乡二元结构为背景的工业化已经难以适应高质量发展需求,面临转型发展的巨大挑战。作为工业化的主要空间载体,集体土地上旧厂房的改造成为释放产业空间的重要途径。在总结现有模式基础上,围绕土地产权构建分析框架,刻画旧厂房改造过程中各主体的权责关系,提出了政府租地更新的新模式,并以F市H科技城改造为例进行了案例研究。这一模式中政府成立公有性质的企业向村集体租地进行土地再开发,以土地租金的形式对村集体和村民进行补偿。租赁期满后,土地上的所有财产将全部返还给村民,实现政府、投资者和村民的多赢。跟以往模式相比,租地更新模式既保证了资本的正常运行,又发挥了各自的优势和特点,核心是低成本实现了土地产权正规化,提高了土地产权的实现度。

农村闲置宅基地盘活利用的多主体行为逻辑——以杭州临安为案例

研究目的:揭示农村闲置宅基地盘活利用中相关利益主体的行为逻辑及利益联结机制,探寻提高盘活利用效果的有效路径。研究方法:基于中层理论的逻辑分析和过程追踪法的案例研究。研究结果:(1)宅基地盘活涉及的利益主体可以分为政府、企业和乡村三类,政府、企业和乡村的行为逻辑分别是政绩、利润和关系导向,三者的关系需要利益联结进行网络整合。(2)临安案例的宅基地盘活可分为村庄整治和村庄经营两个阶段,分别为农村闲置宅基地盘活利用提供物质条件和经济基础。农村集体经济和乡村运营商在村庄内外生产要素结合的过程中,发挥着利益联结的枢纽性作用。研究结论:(1)宅基地盘活利用中,政府和企业的行为逻辑分别是以政绩和利润为导向的工具理性行为,乡村的行为逻辑是以关系为导向、以差序格局为特征的价值理性行为。(2)尽管政府、企业和乡村有着差异化且潜在冲突的行为逻辑,但建立均衡共赢的利益联结有助于控制行为异化和利益冲突。
