Difference Between Urban Renewal and Redevelopment: One Deals with Buildings, the Other with Land

A set of images contrasting two mechanisms. Urban renewal deals with already built-up blocks: houses are still there, people still live there, property rights are complex, and what is renewed are the buildings themselves, with streets and land boundaries largely unchanged. Land readjustment deals with undeveloped or fragmented land: irregular fields and private roads are re-divided into neat grids, new roads and parks are opened, all land boundaries are redrawn, and there were originally few houses on them. Avoid: depicting the two as the same thing, showing dense existing buildings in the land readjustment image, changing the original road system in the urban renewal image, confusing land boundary readjustment with building reconstruction.

一組對照兩種機制的畫面。都市更新處理的是已經建成的街區:房子還在、人還住著、產權複雜,更新的是建築物本身,街道與地界大致不變。市地重劃處理的是還沒開發或地形零碎的土地:把不規則的田地與私設道路重新切成整齊的方格,開闢新的道路與公園,地界全部重畫,上面本來就沒什麼房子。避免:把兩者畫成同一件事、在重劃的畫面裡出現密集的既有建築、在都更的畫面裡改變原有的道路系統、混淆地籍重整與建物重建。
