Abstract
Rural-urban migrants are vulnerable facing the industrial transition in China. This research reveals the ignorance of migrants’ interests within current urban renewal in Shenzhen, China. By referring to the theory of arrival city and urban inclusiveness, the provision of affordable work-related space through urban renewal in Shenzhen’s transition context is defined as the research topic. To understand the relation between socio-economic performativity and urban form, space syntax analysis is used, together with the verification of descriptive principles to achieve urban vitality in the context. Based on the research of affordable work-related space through both theoretical and empirical study, a strategic planning approach of urban renewal is suggested with the attempt to create common vision and promote collaborations between stakeholders.
