Abstract
Multi-story residences play an important role in the process of improving the living conditions of urban residents—there still remains a large scale of multi-story residences in the city center, which constitutes a significant portion of the fabric of the city. However, with the redevelopment of cities, a lot of multi-story residences in the city center began to decline, and were faced with the fate of renovation or demolition. The paper investigates three communities with different time periods and backgrounds: the “Kunming textile district” (1950s enterprise), “Shanghai Anshan Village” (1970s workers’ village), “Kunming Xingying community” (1990s real estate). These communities are analyzed by location, transportation, context, and by the theory of rent of land use, TOD model, to summarize their redevelopment patterns. Finally, three different types of redevelopment models are proposed: upgraded redevelopment, evolutionary redevelopment and revitalization redevelopment.
