International and China’s Localized Analysis on the Definition and Classification of Shrinking Cities Under the Background of Shrinking Planning

Abstract:

Shrinking city, a new normal type of urban development, has been constantly emphasized for its importance in the area of research concerning urban development issues. Shrinkage-oriented planning has also been emphasized. However, the definition and classification of shrinking cities have been complicated yet independent. This not only affects the continuous in-depth related research, but also goes against the joint exploration of shrinking cities. From tracing the origin of shrinking city, this paper, on the one hand, finds the confusions of the definition to the shrinking city and the differences and misunderstandings existing in the Chinese interpretation of the shrinking city in the western context. On the other hand, it presents that the classifications of shrinking types have shown a diversified trend due to different research paths, especially in China, which has a special urban development background. Based on this, the authors reconsider the definition and significance of shrinking city from the perspective of planning, and put forward the research idea of “unique judgment standard + multiple type identification” and emphasize the logical relationship between them. In addition, we sort out a research framework for the shrinking types based on shrinking planning, which strengthens the guidance of shrinkage types in planning. Ultimately, it would promote local exploration while creating a joint research platform.
