Abstract
Globalization, market transition and social structure change in china, which have been accompanied by unemployment, social inequality, immigrants, marginal groups, are creating increasing concentrated poverty in metropolis. Urban poverty clusters are viewed as a critical problem not only in respect of citizenship livelihoods, but also of the social and spatial differentiation that causes society unsafely, and the tremendous local public finance burden. A smart way to alleviate urban poverty is one of the key points to keep sustainable development. More research attention of urban poverty in china focused on social inequality and wealth distribution, less on spatial problems that cause poverty concentrated and persisted. This article aims to analysis the spatial reasons for urban poverty concentration, and to examine the effect of different spatial development path for poverty clusters, then to discuss how to form a smart spatial development way to alleviate it. We use comparative study, based on three cases of poverty clusters in Shanghai, which have the same social and historical background but different spatial develop paths, to make it concrete. One case is a existent poverty cluster without spatial change; another has been redeveloped to homogenization by Government; The other one has taken a interactive update with artists, forming not homogeneous but a interactive spatial cluster.
