An Analysis of the Causes of the Lagging Development of Underprivileged Communities in Cities and the Renewal Design of Space

In the process of urban development and spatial expansion, the development speed of different urban spatial units differs, which has formed relatively backward urban spaces. Communities are one of the basic units of urban space. In the course of urbanization in China, the development of some urban communities is lagging behind, and there is a big difference from the surrounding environment of the community. Beijing Zuojiazhuang community is a typical representative of this matter. This paper carries out an on-the-spot investigation on the Zuojiazhuang community. On the basis of the survey results, the reasons for the lagging development of Zuojiazhuang community are analyzed. This paper also puts forward some reasonable suggestions for the spatial renewal and improvement of the Zuojiazhuang community, which can mobilize the community’s space vitality and provide viable directions for older communities in the city.
