PROJECT OUTCOMES
MASTER PLAN FUNCTIONS
SHIKUMEN BUILDING RENOVATION
The original living situation of local residents is very poor, usually the per capita living area is 6m, and the indoor space is too narrow, the elderly living here lack barrierfree facilities and it is inconvenient to move without private toilets, which also leads to many health problems.
By relocating some of the local tenants, the original space was consolidated into a single household, allowing residents to gain more indoor space and separate sanitation facilities.

There were about 9000 shikumen buildings, comprising 65% of residential housing stock by area in Shanghai. Chengxingli is lilong areas suffering from poor quality of life following processes of expropriation after 1949, when the state confiscated housing stock from individual property owners and redistributed it to accommodate multiple households.
1980-90s Profit-driven redevelopment
This model proved easy to implement, but had little regard for the preservation of the urban fabric or the historically significant identity of the city.
1990sRedevelopment
The Shanghai Municipal Government announced a series of policies to redevelop dilapidated neighborhoods, including shanty housing.
1997 Taipingqiao area
