Abstract:With the acceleration of urbanization process, many contradictions among urban environment, urban resources and society are becoming increasingly prominent. In this context, the planning research of urban renewal is of great significance. The historical background, development process, development trends and typical cases of urban renewal in China are sorted out, summarized and deeply analyzed. And the relevant important policy documents of urban renewal in China are interpreted. On this basis, the urban renewal planning path of "1 concept, 2 goals, 3 means, 4 tasks and 5 elements" is summarized and proposed, and the urban renewal project - Ningbo "Wenxin Green Beauty" ecological corridor boutique line has been verified in practice.
