| Abstract |
With the accelerating global urbanization process, the regeneration of abandoned or underutilized urban spaces has become a critical approach to addressing environmental, social, and ecological issues. As a representative case of urban renewal and ecological restoration following the Shanghai World Expo, the Shanghai Expo Culture Park exemplifies an innovative practice integrating historical culture with ecological landscapes. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the transformation and regeneration of the Expo site before and after the event and analyze the specific regeneration process of the cultural park post-Expo. Furthermore, it proposes directions for sustainable development based on satisfaction surveys conducted at the regenerated cultural park. First, this study reviews relevant literature to clarify the theoretical foundations, including concepts, development processes, and key components of sustainable development, urban regeneration, and urban parks. Second, drawing from previous studies, it establishes an evaluation index system for urban park design and formulates a corresponding satisfaction survey questionnaire. Subsequently, it analyzes the historical transformation and regeneration processes of the Shanghai Expo site, thoroughly examining functional changes in the post-Expo space and the development process of the cultural park. Finally, on-site surveys are conducted at the cultural park to collect satisfaction data, which are statistically analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software. The analysis evaluates satisfaction with the regenerative design, identifies existing issues and sources of dissatisfaction, and proposes targeted strategies for improvement. The results demonstrate that the Shanghai Expo site has successfully transitioned from an industrial base to a core urban functional area through subsequent regenerative designs, becoming an exemplary case of industrial heritage conservation and contemporary utilization. Multifunctional zoning has achieved deep integration of economic, ecological, and cultural aspects, providing valuable insights for regenerating similar areas worldwide. The satisfaction analysis indicates high scores across core dimensions such as environmental quality, economic benefits, historical significance, cultural value, functionality, social aspects, and recreational offerings. However, the park exhibited deficiencies in accessibility, safety, convenience, and intelligent facilities. Recommendations include optimizing transportation accessibility and barrier-free facility coverage, improving the comprehensive safety lighting system, increasing the number of rest areas, restrooms, and garbage bins, and expanding the use of intelligent infrastructure. This study offers valuable references for the reuse of venues following large-scale events and the regeneration of urban abandoned spaces into parks, thereby contributing to the enhancement of site functional value and sustainable urban development. |
