The focus is on revitalizing old neighborhoods and industrial areas while enhancing the urban ecosystem to improve living conditions and quality of life [1]. Group 1: Urban Renewal Challenges - The primary challenge in urban renewal is effective operation, which requires a deep understanding of local community needs, such as sports facilities or high-quality commercial spaces [1]. - It is essential to not only meet these needs but also to ensure that the functions of urban spaces are diverse and appealing, particularly to younger demographics, to foster vibrancy [3].
