Abstract
High quality development of suburban townlets is one of the important ways to promote new urbanization and achieve sustainable development. Based on in-depth analysis of developing distinctiveness of suburban townlets in southern Jiangsu, four realistic dilemmas these outskirts towns have encountered are pointed out—unclear positioning, obscure characteristics, insufficient space and poor quality. From the perspective of urban renewal, this paper creatively puts forward a four-in-one renewal framework of “positioning reshaping—comprehensive evaluation - renewal scheme—implementation plan”. With fulfilling actual demands of Zhangpu old town as the starting point, implementing planning as orientation, and building a compound and dynamic community in southern Kunshan as the goal, this paper builds a road to the revival of the old town that integrates “humanism, liveliness and livability”, providing reference for sustainable development of other suburban townlets.
