dc.description.abstract
The human society and one of its most representative physical forms, the city, have been closely associated with Industrialization since hundreds of years. In this period of time, it saw the dramatic expansion of city's population and spatial scale in different forms, while it also saw the evolution of industrial space from being the key space in inner city to being the most negative decaying location in inner city and seeking new location in periphery or regional area.<br />Today, in the context of "post-industrial era", the phenomenon of massive relocation of industrial space from inner city, which has been one of the most remarkable urban phenomenon in European and American cities since 1970s, becomes also serious topic that many cities in China, such as Beijing and Shanghai, have to confront to. How to stop the decay of numerous historic industrial districts in the inner city, how to redevelop them and further to provide new growing points in the inner city, how to provide high-quality space for the rising industries in ideal location in the city are all among the challenges originated from or associated with this topic, which urban planning of the city shall take.<br />From the side of theory research, ever since such urban phenomenon and the correspondent urban planning processes gained ground, the research on them has never stopped. However, given the complexity of the urban phenomenon itself, most of the researches focus on only parts of the urban planning processes (such as inner city industrial district redevelopment, inner city revitalization, master planning of industrial space in macro-structural level of the city or the spatial master planning of the whole city), rather than taking them as an interrelated integrity, or to say, as ONE PROCESS. On a new level of thinking, which believes that all these individual urban planning processes are interrelated ones of one process, this thesis raises the question of: "what is the role of urban planning in the redistribution of industrial space in the context of contemporary city's spatial development?" The answering of this question, being the foremost task of the thesis, will contribute not only to solving theoretical or practical problems, but also will help us understand how urban planning can function in such phenomenon mentioned above.<br />To answer this question, this thesis brings forward the concept that urban planning's role in the redistribution of industrial space lies in two interrelated, interdepending and intersupporting efforts: "BRING OUT" and "FILL IN". These two efforts generalize the roles of urban planning on the level of macrostructure and microstructure respectively.<br />Based on this concept, the research of this thesis will be structured following two main lines: theoretical one and practical one, in which the backgrounds, target, mechanism, instruments/interactive fields of urban planning in "BRING OUT" and "FILL IN" will be sorted out, analyzed and generalized. Being an applied science, urban planning's theoretical achievement shall always lead to indications for practice and verify its authenticity with facts. This is the reason why this thesis elaborates on the analysis and evaluation of completed or ongoing urban planning practices, which have been put to implementation and the results are widely discussed as well as ready to be evaluated (London-Docklands, Hamburg-Harbors, Ruhr-Emscherpark, Vienna-Simmering and Beijing-798 District). Based on the conclusions on such case study, the "BRING OUT" and "FILL IN" efforts of urban planning on Shanghai with the three selected target areas (Yangshupu Riverfront Area, EXPO Site and Suzhou Creek Riverfront Area) is comprehensively evaluated, with the purpose to amend and complement the current urban planning as well as to give indications for the further urban planning practice in this regard. Both theoretical and practical conclusion of this research will be listed and sorted out in four groups in the conclusion chapter.<br />
