Auf dem Weg zur Etablierung eines neuen Stadterneuerungsparadigmas

In this chapter, the author shows how foreign knowledge inspired reforms in Yangzhou. She focuses on the local process of policy learning and translation, dwelling on its challenges and on the factors that allowed for the opening of a policy window. Once urban renewal attained an important position in the local governmental agenda, the city government started an intense phase of revision of its urban renewal policies, which led to significant changes not only in the practice of urban renewal, but also in its goals.
