Study on “Intelligent” Renewal Strategy of Block Under Stock Optimization

Blocks carry the collective memory of residents and become a rare stock space in the city, so the “intelligent” renewal of blocks is a necessary stage and has due significance in the current context of smart city development in China. Given the numerous issues with the overall appearance, street space, ancillary facilities, management, and maintenance, this paper uses Yangzhou Dongguan Block as the research object to analyze the current state of the protection and renewal of blocks in China through literature analysis and field research, we propose the “intelligent” renewal strategy based on stock optimization and intelligent renewal as an entry point, including block renewal energization, information collection visualization, block service systematization, and intelligent operation management to guide the organic renewal practice and provide a clearer renewal approach for long-term sustainable development of China’s blocks.
