Abstract
With the acceleration of global urbanisation, urban renewal has gradually received attention as a key means to improve urban quality of life and optimise spatial resource allocation. However, the traditional urban renewal model focuses more on land use, construction land development intensity, and other aspects, ignoring the needs of different groups of people. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2021, the domestic youth population in China is about 448 million, accounting for about one-third of the total population. This group is an important component of cities and a key part of the city's future development. Currently, youth in urban life face problems such as the lack of urban identity, undersupply of services, and poor quality of living space. Therefore, this study takes an inclusive perspective as the entry point, taking Expo A area of Pudong New Area in Shanghai, China, as an example. Firstly, a literature review, questionnaire survey, and other methods were used to investigate the full needs of young people for public spaces. The research results found that the needs of young people for urban public spaces are mainly reflected in diversity, comfort, and publicness, which mainly reflect their needs for cultural, fitness, social and other public spaces. Afterwards, targeted and actionable youth-friendly city renewal strategies are proposed in terms of spatial optimisation, facility configuration, and business upgrading in order to enhance the sense of security, belonging, and experience of young people. It is not only beneficial for solving various challenges faced by youth in urban renewal, but it also provides feasible solutions for the sustainable development of cities and provides new ideas and methods for future urban planning and urban renewal.
