Revitalizing Community Interactive Spaces through Public Art: Strategies for the Renewal of Old Communities in Beijing

This paper takes the renewal of old communities in Beijing as a case study to investigate strategies for revitalizing community interactive spaces driven by public art. Analyzing the current situation reveals that public art plays a positive role in shaping cultural atmosphere, enhancing resident participation, and creating social spaces. However, challenges such as disconnection from resident needs, difficulties in achieving deep participation, and shortcomings in promotion and guidance persist. To address these issues, the study proposes strategies including establishing mechanisms for deep resident participation, innovating diverse forms of public art, strengthening community public art education, and building long-term maintenance and multi-party collaboration mechanisms. These measures aim to enhance the vitality of community interactive spaces and promote the development of community culture.
