Densification Research by Design: The Pilot Case of Tuanjie Village in Kunshan
摘要
This chapter presents a pilot "research by design" project in Kunshan's Tuanjie Village, using densification to address common issues in China's old communities, including parking shortages and aging infrastructure. By integrating mixed-use planning, age-friendly infrastructure, people-oriented building upgrades, and cultural spaces, the project demonstrates how densification, applied through participatory design, can enhance social sustainability while modernizing urban environments.
