Landscape Design Suitability of Old Community Pocket Parks in Urban Micro-Renewal

There are a large number of old communities in China, and some communities have a lack of green infrastructure that does not meet the needs of residents and do not meet the development of modern cities. In recent years, pocket parks have emerged as the center of attention in the construction of old communities in many cities at home and abroad, which can effectively solve the problem of insufficient greening and leisure space in old urban communities. Studies in the last decade demonstrate an absence in comprehensive examinations of community pocket parks. This paper aims at the background of urban micro updates, in order to improve the quality of community public space environments as the breakthrough point, through nearly 15 years of the relevant literature from 4 databases (i.e., Google Scholar, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data), summarizes the previous study of the pocket park design suitability of research, and then the old community pocket park renovation suggestions the community pocket park to make full-time age-friendly community life circle. The results show that more than 30 domestic and foreign literature, with more than half employing various qualitative and quantitative methodologies, affirm the suitability of pocket parks for multiple aspects of the living environment. The remaining studies focus on the suitability evaluation of public space landscape design planning for pocket parks. These conclusions provide a reference direction for the old community pocket park renovation update, help in addressing residents' needs, conform to the law of urban development, and further improve the community environment construction.
