Abstract： |
In order to deal with the changes of accelerated urbanization and socio-economic restructuring in the second half of the 20th century, France, taking the mechanism of Zone d’Aménagement Concerté （Concerted Development Zone） as operational tool carried out a series of large-scale urban renewal projects in its metropolises, including Paris, to regenerate the declining traditional neighborhoods and industrial areas. The practice of urban renewal in Paris proves that the mechanism of Zone d’Aménagement Concerté is effective in not only upgrading the urban functions, ameliorating the human settlements, and promoting the living quality of these declining neighborhoods, but also dealing with the problems of the conflicts among various stakeholders, the mutation of urban landscape, the imbalance between real estate develop-ment and trans-portation con-struction, and so on. In view that these problems are quite popular in the practice of urban renewal in Chinese cities all over the country, the successful ex-perience of the mechanical estab-lishment of Zone d’Aménagement Concerté can be a useful reference for China. |
