Abstract

Against the dual background of a deeply aging society and urban renewal, the basic aging-adaptation renovation of traditional old residential communities can no longer meet the higher-level needs of older adults for health, participation, and security. Taking the concept of active aging as the core, this paper proposes that the renewal of old residential communities should undergo a paradigm shift from passive environmental adaptation to active vitality activation. It first analyzes the research background. It then constructs a theoretical framework for renewal that integrates spatial creation and social activation, systematically elaborating on the design paradigm of dual-dimensional renewal. Ultimately, this paper aims to provide an integrated design strategy with both theoretical foresight and practical operability, transcending patchwork aging-adaptation renovation to achieve empowering community renewal.
