Urban renewal concept at slum-flat complex area by applying revitalization program

Abstract

Established a couple of decades ago, a well-worn low stories apartments in the middle heart of a big city especially occupied by low-middle income societies that become slum-residential areas are the main problem that affects many sectors such as social welfare, security, education, people’s living standard, and economic growth, so it needs to be concerned. Urban renewal program with the revitalization model is an alternative solution, but the challenges are quite difficult, especially in occupants society negotiations to achieve their agreement and understanding. In this renewal program, existed occupants are pleased to be relocated out, so their apartments can be demolished, and new high-rise building apartment and commercialize towers within will be established. After the new buildings are finished, every previous occupant will receive a new single unit which its equal-area must be similar like previous apartments. The program funding is designed to be financed by the profit of other commercialized units. As a result, well-developed occupants will leave easily their previous apartments and get their house renewed, so this method easily becomes a role model for accelerating national urban housing and development programs, especially in the urban revitalization area. Thus, better well-being and social justice can be continued and provided by multi-involvement between existed occupants, landlords, developers, and government without inflicting losses in business and economic growth.
