Research On Community Residual Space Renewal Design Based On Food Urbanism

In recent years,the rapid development of China’s cities has led to an increasing reliance on external material resources while consuming large amounts of ecological resources,and urban food systems are gradually evolving into a single linear metabolic model.At the same time,the discussion of “ Food Urbanism”has received international attention,advocating the establishment of a circular and sustainable urban food system to promote environmental sustainability,which has attracted the attention of the habitat and environment sector.In terms of policy,China has also issued documents on the transformation of urban food systems and urban green regeneration,with a focus on the development of a sustainable environment.At present,there is a residual of under-utilised space in urban communities,including derelict green spaces and unused public spaces,and during research visits,it was found that some community residents are keen to carry out agricultural cultivation in these spaces.In the course of the research,it was found that some of the community residents are keen on farming in these spaces.In order to explore how to utilise and improve these under-utilised spaces and how to meet the growing needs of the community,the concept of“Food Urbanism” is introduced into the study.Based on theories and practices related to Western Food Urbanism,this project selects community residual space as the research object,and uses a combination of literature research,categorisation research,field research and cross-disciplinary research methods to explore the feasibility of the theory in the community context,summarise its development model,principles and design strategies,and seek to make a theoretical addition to the community renewal perspective.Firstly,through literature research,this paper systematically compares the theoretical development,theoretical connotations and practical experiences related to food urbanism,summarises the existing methods of regenerating the remaining spaces in communities and analyses their shortcomings,while pointing out the social,economic and environmental motivations for the development of food urbanism in communities.Then,through case studies and field research,the feasibility of food urbanism in the development of community residual spaces is explored.Further analysis reveals the community circulation model and key elements under food urbanism,constructs a community food space network model,and summarises the principles for the regeneration design of the remaining community spaces under the theory,specifically the introduction of production elements,the principle of multiple integration,the principle of resource recycling,and the principle of multi-dimensional experience approach.On this basis,the renewal design strategy is proposed,and the specific design strategy system is constructed from three aspects: spatial,behavioural and technological association.Finally,the design principles and strategies derived from the theoretical study are applied through the community food garden regeneration design practice in Panzhong,verifying that the participation of edible landscapes in community creation can generate multiple sustainable social and economic values,confirming the feasibility of the study.The value of this paper lies in the community-level approach that links the issues of food production,residential life and community ecology in the construction of the human environment.By placing the theory of food urbanism in a community context and proposing a community food space network model that integrates with urban ecological,economic and social systems,and by proposing theoretical design strategies for the regeneration of the remaining community spaces from a practical perspective,the paper has implications for the development of sustainable community environments and food systems.
