Chengdu is experiencing rapid development, and the urban area is sprawling to the south and east, leaving many old communities in the north. Most old communities were built before the 1980s with the aging built environment. Spatial structure cannot meet the increasing need of people. The current community redevelopment focuses on large-scale demolition, destroying the previous urban form and social network, and leading to social segregation. The project explores a strategic framework in collaboration with the government, the locals, and other public and private sectors, to promote the old community redevelopment. During this process, the locals’ voices will be heard, and they will be an essential part of the redevelopment implementation. Scenario making is an important way to help the locals without professional skills to engage in the decision-making and implementation steps. The project also proposes a series of guidelines and toolboxes to help develop several scenarios, finally to promote the community redevelopment.
