A Multidimensional Perspective on Urban Renewal Space Issues - Constructing a Triad Analytical Framework of “Spatial Production, Spatial Consumption, Spatial Justice”

Abstract

With the development of the consumption era, the research on spatial production in urban spatial renewal has turned to spatial consumption. However, the injustice caused by the urban renewal activities with capital and power as the main body also makes the research heat of spatial justice remain high. This paper explores the integrated analytical framework of “space production, space consumption, and spatial justice” in urban renewal, aiming to deeply understand the complexity and multidimensionality of contemporary urban spaces. The article first argues the necessity of constructing a tripartite spatial theory analysis framework, introduces the concepts and main contents of space production, space consumption, and spatial justice, and discusses their interactions and influences. Secondly, based on the original theoretical content, a tripartite spatial theory analysis framework is constructed. Finally, starting from the absence of spatial justice, the limitations of traditional spatial production models, and the differentiation of space consumption, the paper proposes urban renewal strategies guided by the tripartite spatial theory, emphasizing the importance of policy intervention, mode innovation, and social integration to achieve more equitable and sustainable urban spatial development.
