Housing policy and urban conservation.
Sanierung der Lilong-Häuser in Shanghai
Rehabilitation of lilong houses in Shanghai
This research aims to examine the interrelationship and interaction of housing policy and urban conservation in order to discover a possible solution in terms of housing policy reform which can simultaneously contribute to conservation strategies under existing social, cultural, and economic conditions. Taking lilong housing in Shanghai as the example, the empirical study on housing and urban conservation elaborates upon international and national frameworks as well as the policy and practice of rehabilitating lilong houses in Shanghai. On the one hand, the research on current housing policy at national and municipal level reveals many reasons leading to housing deterioration. The primary one is lack of institutional conditions; for example, the insufficient tenure regulations which can disrupt regular maintenance and modernisation. On the other hand, a study of conservation strategy shows that the priority targets of urban conservation have focused on significant monuments rather than large-scale inner-city residential areas. Current lilong rehabilitation practice is often a one-sided solution aimed at physical improvement, like in the Bugaoli case, or economic benefit, such as the Xintiandi case, and hence could not fundamentally solve housing problems and reach conservation goals. To solve multiple problems in the inner-city residential areas, different instruments from both conservation and housing perspectives should work together. Housing heritage in inner-city areas involves housing issues and heritage issues. It is not possible to conserve historical houses without tackling housing problems. Within an integrated approach, its positive features, namely high social-cultural values like cultural quality, architecture quality, urban quality, and social quality should be enhanced through conservation strategies. In the same, negative features such as low economic value or use value—for example, a housing shortage—as well as deterioration and affordability problems should be reduced through housing policy reform.
