2、 Promote urban renewal and build 'beautiful cities'

China's urban construction has gradually shifted from incremental construction led by real estate to a construction phase focused on improving urban quality through stock upgrading and transformation. The focus of future work will also shift from focusing on new construction to serving urban renewal and the sustainable development path of existing building renovation. Various regions are actively exploring urban renewal and renovation of existing buildings, breaking through bottlenecks in the connection between old and new, and creating conditions to address the needs of existing building renovation and market entities. Urban renewal, as a new way and path to optimize urban functions, guide intensive and efficient land use, and promote sustainable and healthy urban development, is increasingly becoming an important part of urban planning, construction, and management. In the face of new problems and situations in urban development, implementing urban renewal actions is of great and far-reaching significance for effectively transforming the mode of urban development and construction, promoting the optimization and adjustment of urban structure, improving functions and quality, continuously enhancing people's quality of life and urban competitiveness, continuously meeting people's new expectations for livable urban life, and promoting sustained and healthy economic and social development.

With the rapid advancement of urbanization, the shortage of incremental land supply and the pressure to transform existing space have made the intensive development model of urban renewal with "existing space+industrial operation" as its connotation a new trend in urban development to enhance urban competitiveness, improve urban quality, and meet residents' wishes for a better life. It has become a new engine for improving people's livelihoods and economic growth.

China's urban construction will focus on improving the quality of cities and living environments, promoting infrastructure construction and upgrading, and building "beautiful cities". Urban renewal has entered the stage of "organic renewal" characterized by reflecting the requirements of the new era, carrying new content, and emphasizing new transmission. It has become a new issue faced by government departments, development enterprises, and various fields of the construction industry. Due to its unique urban characteristics, historical heritage, and rich professional technical reserves, the "Shanghai Urban Renewal Regulations" came into effect on September 1, 2021. It provides accurate and timely legal basis for the implementation of Shanghai's urban renewal from the aspects of land nature, implementing subjects, promotion methods, financing channels, property rights policies, planning indicators encouragement, and historical building identification and grading. At the same time, it also reflects that urban renewal does have strong composite characteristics.

Urban renewal "is not only about exchanging old for new land and buildings, upgrading and adjusting industries and spaces, but also about improving the quality and cultural connotation of cities, optimizing urban economic models, and perfecting public resources. In the process of urban development, whether it is basic hardware such as transportation, education, and healthcare, or software facilities such as humanities, art, and history, they will all change with urban renewal. Urban development has entered an important period of urban renewal - from large-scale incremental construction to a balance between stock improvement and structural adjustment, from" whether there is "to" whether it is good or not ". Urban renewal should move towards being more livable and better

Developing in a green, more humanistic, and smarter direction. Future urban renewal should reflect more of a top-down and deep level urban strategic demand.

3、 Building a professional platform for urban renewal and architectural renovation

The Urban Renewal and Building Renovation Exhibition aims to protect and utilize old industrial (park) areas, large public buildings, historical buildings, commercial buildings, old residential areas, affordable housing renovation, elderly care service facilities and aging friendly renovation, and building energy-saving renovation. Based on excellent cases of urban renewal in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities, it radiates to the Yangtze River Delta and even various regions across the country.

Integrate exhibitors related to building safety, construction technology, smart cities, ecological gardens, and urban lifelines, and think from an innovative perspective on how to create a new model for urban renewal and construction. By combining government resources and utilizing advanced technology and equipment from enterprises, we aim to showcase the best development concepts and technologies in the urban renewal and transformation industry chain from materials, construction techniques, and technological products, in order to boost urban industries, stimulate urban vitality, improve urban quality, and enhance the living environment.

The "Urban Renewal and Building Renovation Exhibition" has attracted relevant units and enterprises in urban renewal, building materials, construction, and products, including Huajian Group, Municipal Council, Water Resources Bureau, Tunnel Group, Shanghai Pudong Development Group, China Construction Eighth Engineering Division, Shanghai Construction Engineering Group, Huajian Group, Donghao Lansheng Group, Lujiazui Group, Urban Investment Group, Real Estate Group, Shanghai Jianke, Sankeshu, Wisebo, Gas Group, Linne, Zhongnan Building Materials, Construction Engineering Foundation, Tunnel Equipment, Machinery Construction Group, Shangchang, Zhongchun, Yuanfang, etc., to jointly explore the integrated development of current urban renewal and renovation.

5、 Forum activities have both timeliness and foresight

Yangtze River Delta Urban Renewal and Development Forum

Implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress, fulfilling the work requirements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to make cities more livable, provide residents with livable environments, and continuously meet the growing needs of the people for a better life, promoting urban renewal, improving urban quality, and promoting the organic linkage and close cooperation between urban renewal and building renovation across the entire industry.

In urban renewal, old buildings, as the most active organisms in urban construction, will constantly develop and change with the emergence of new actions. The development of a city is a continuous process of breaking and restoring balance. The city breaks through its original organization, improves its texture, enhances stability and orderliness through dynamic transformation, and achieves a new balance in the city. At the same time, each part is relatively independent and maintains organic connections with each other. To approach the development of cities, analyze and understand the complexity of urban architectural functions in a systematic and holistic manner, interpret the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, environment, and city, and strive to create sustainability between cities and architecture.

Forum on the Protection, Renewal, Utilization, and Renovation of Historical Buildings

Historical buildings often carry heavy historical information, cultural values, social memories, or contemporary styles. The protection, renewal, and revitalization of historical buildings involve processes such as preserving, restoring, and restoring the appearance, style, and internal space of the building, with the aim of making historical buildings shine with new brilliance. We have specially planned this forum to explore the technological means of dynamic updating and protection of historical buildings, and provide useful references for the revitalization and utilization of historical buildings, thus making positive contributions to the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage.

Building Smart Communities - Forum on Smart Renovation of Old Residential Areas

Taking into account the current situation of the renovation of old residential areas in China, relevant policies, social needs, and other factors, the focus should be on research on refined governance, resilient communities, sustainable communities, healthy communities, living circles, community physical examinations, green evaluations, and other aspects of renovation. With the improvement of people's living standards, the pace of renovating old urban residential areas is gradually accelerating. The renovation of old residential areas is a new trend in urban development, an important task to enhance urban quality, and also an important development project. Promoting the renovation of old residential areas and building smart communities is an important task to meet people's living needs and improve the quality of urban life.
