Urban Renewal Unit

The concept of “urban renewal unit” was firstly proposed in the Measures of Urban Renewal of Shenzhen issued in 2009. It functions as the basic unit of urban renewal integrating multiple scattered plots for redevelopment, rather than a single plot redeveloped in a traditional way. The delimitation of an urban renewal unit is mainly led by the government, according to relevant technical specifications, with comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including the layout of roads and rivers, the boundary of property rights, and the planning of public facilities.
