ENGAGING COMMUNITIES WITH URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: Chinese cities are proposing increasing number of urban redevelopment projects. Local communities, in this process, vary from each other by their activity patterns and ways of life. Under this condition, social media data could provide a point of view that human activities are respected and recognized. This project, accordingly, is to explore a dynamic tool to catalog urban redevelopment projects, by which the local residents could know better of their place, and planners/decision makers better engaging the communities both virtually and physically.

*Sina Weibo check-in data and Douban Event data are employed to measure virtual and physical activities respectively.

隨著城市化水準的提高，中國城市更新涉及到越來越多的社區。這些本地社區具有自身的特徵和生活方式，在活動模式方面也不盡相同。在這樣的背景下，社會新媒體資料可以提供一種新的認知角度，使得本地社區的個性得到聆聽和尊重。“城•眾”即立足於此，通過展現城市更新項目周邊的虛擬空間活躍度、實體空間活躍度以及活動類型，幫助社區居民/規劃師/決策者更好的瞭解社區生活，促進社區參與，為不同類型的社區提供更新策略。
