| 摘要 | This study investigates community identity in Nanjing’s historic Hehuatang community during urban renewal, revealing tensions between heritage preservation and modernization. Through ethnographic research, three key factors are identified shaping identity: (i) material conditions including series of spatial conflicts around overcrowding, (ii) social tensions such as tenant-aborigine divides and generational misunderstanding, and (iii) institutional governance as top-down policies would exacerbate distrust. Despite 82% of residents expressing place attachment, 67% desire relocation due to deteriorating liveability—a paradox highlighting the failure of China’s contemporary performative participation models. The adapted three-layer creativity model underscores the need to reconcile physical renewal with social equity. Findings advocate for co-design processes that integrate resident agency, offering lessons for sustainable urban renewal in rapidly developing contexts. |
