Abstract:

This paper summarizes the urban regeneration experience with innovation features in East London by reviewing the development process of East London, which starts from manufacturing to culture then to innovation industry. In East London, urban space development goals were combined to improve imbalanced regional development and this created development opportunities for innovation industries; urban environment was also improved through planning to provide innovation industries foundation for development, and made the regeneration area naturally grow into an innovation district under the interaction of economic assets, physical assets and social assets. In the context of the urban transition from incremental to inventory renewal currently, the experience of the regeneration in East London suggests that it is not necessary for governments to develop a spatial plan for the innovation district specially, but a well-connected, open, diverse and integrated urban area is the basis for the innovation ecosystem, which could be created by spatial development strategies and regeneration policies over the years. This is a process combining top-down and bottom-up approaches.
