Urban renewal in Russia and China: developing new approaches to urban data analysis

2026-02-12
Over the past decade, China has been actively transforming the urban fabric of Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Tianjin, and other major cities. Russia initiated its own urban renewal programme in 2017. Since then, both countries have accumulated considerable experience in urban planning and heritage redevelopment. However, despite the scale and significance of these changes, no systematic comparison has yet been undertaken of how urban renewal is carried out in practice or of the social outcomes it produces. Our project seeks to address this gap.
