Abstract 

This study focuses on the topic of revitalization of unused community space, and takes Tianfu Social Creativity 

Center in Chengdu City as a case study to explore the path of revitalization and sustainable operation mode of old 

community space. The study adopts field survey and archival research methods to construct the analytical 

framework of "demand-oriented, multiple synergies, and sustainable operation" to analyze the transformation 

process from industrial heritage to public space. The study shows that through cultural implantation, resource 

integration and self-governance mechanism, the center enhances the cohesion of the community and the utilization 

rate of the space, and provides a dual-track practice sample of "cultural inheritance and functional regeneration" 

for the renewal of old communities in industrial transformation areas. 

Keywords: unused community space, public space creation, sustainable community operation, residents' 

participation 

1. Problems 

As the "last kilometer" of grassroots governance, the enhancement of the community's governance capacity and 

service level is of great significance in facilitating the virtuous cycle of joint governance by multiple subjects and 

realizing good community governance. Moreover, community space has the functions of artistic expression, 

cultural display, consumption experience and emotional exchange, and has gradually become a practical space and 

outwardly comfortable area to meet people's growing material and cultural needs. However, with China's 

modernization and industrial upgrading, many factories were eliminated or relocated during the construction 

period, and the old community spaces with factories as their core were abandoned or underutilized, becoming 

"frozen assets" of the community. The transformation of old community spaces and the revitalization of 

community resources have become important issues in urban community building. 

The purpose of this study is to explore the effective use of unused space in the community, and take Tianfu Social 

Innovation Center as an example to analyze its specific measures and effectiveness in revitalizing unused space. 

Through the in-depth study of this case, it aims to provide useful reference and inspiration for the revitalization of 

idle space in other communities in China. 

2. Theoretical Framework and Research Method 

2.1 Theory of Community Building 

The theory of community building aims to create an interpersonal community based on the settlement space, 

originated from the reorganization of mobile residents and the reconstruction of neighborhood relations during the 

period of industrialization in Britain and the United States, and advocates the cultivation of the spirit of self-

government and mutual assistance among the community residents, so as to find a path of sustainable development 

of the community. Currently, community building in China takes community empowerment as the main guide, 

and takes "publicity reconstruction" as the basic principle, "social production" as the core concept, and "multi-

element reorganization" as the construction path. It takes "publicity reengineering" as the basic principle, "social 

production" as the core concept, and "multi-element reorganization" as the construction path to form a "human" 

community in the community, and to strengthen the emotional significance and production capacity of the 

community space.Community building focuses on the participation of residents and the cultivation of community 

identity, emphasizing the joint participation of community residents in community affairs, the exploration of 

community resources, and the creation of a community environment with a sense of belonging and identity. In the 



hssr.ideasspread.org   Humanities and Social Science Research Vol. 8, No. 3; 2025

process of revitalization of unused space, the practice guided by the theory of community building includes widely 

consulting residents, designing space functions according to residents' needs, and encouraging residents to 

participate in the construction and management of the space. 

2.2 Resource Integration Theory 

Resource integration theory focuses on how to effectively integrate scattered and idle resources to achieve optimal 

allocation and efficient use of resources. In the revitalization of idle space in the community, it involves the 

integration of space resources, human resources, financial resources, information resources and other aspects. On 

the one hand, it is necessary to integrate unused land, houses and other spatial resources in the community, and 

make them play new functions through rational planning and transformation. On the other hand, it is necessary to 

integrate the resources of the government, enterprises, social organizations, residents and other diversified subjects, 

such as the government to provide policy support and financial subsidies, enterprises to invest in capital and 

technology, social organizations to provide professional services and experience in project operation , and residents 

to contribute human resources and creativity and so on. 

2.3 Theoretical Framework Construction 

Combining the above theoretical kernels, the article constructs a three-in-one framework of "demand-oriented, 

multi-dimensional synergy and sustainable operation", including: starting from the actual needs of the community 

and determining the direction of revitalization by combining the characteristics of spatial endowment; integrating 

the resources of the government, social organizations, enterprises and other main bodies to form a synergistic 

governance network; ensuring the sustainability of spatial revitalization through the innovation of the operation 

mode and the output of continuous activities. Through innovative operation mode and continuous activity output, 

the sustainability of space revitalization is guaranteed. 

The trinity framework takes demand orientation as the logical starting point, multiple synergies as the 

implementation path, and sustainable operation as the value goal, and provides a full chain methodological support 

for the revitalization of unused space in the community from "problem diagnosis-resource integration-long-lasting 

activation" through the integration of theories and the inter-construction of practices, and finally achieves the 

ultimate goal of revitalization. Through the integration of theory and practice, the methodological support for the 

revitalization of unused community space is provided from "problem diagnosis-resource integration-long-term 

activation", and the multiple goals of spatial function reconstruction, community emotion cohesion and governance 

efficiency enhancement are finally realized. 

2.4 Research Methods 

The research adopts a combination of fieldwork and archival research. In the fieldwork, a one-month participatory 

observation was conducted in the Tianfu Social Innovation Center to follow up on activities such as the "Public 

Space Visiting Action" workshop, record the dynamics of space use and the interaction patterns of residents, and 

conduct in-depth interviews with government staff, the head of the operation team, representatives of social 

organizations, and different types of residents, in order to obtain information on practices from a multi-subjective 

perspective. We also conducted in-depth interviews with government staff, heads of operation teams, 

representatives of social organizations, and different types of residents to obtain information about the practice 

from multiple perspectives. 

The archival research focuses on two types of data, namely policy documents such as the Chengdu Urban and 

Rural Community Development and Governance Master Plan, which clarifies the policy direction of "revitalizing 

unused space", and the internal archives of the Tianfu Social Innovation Center, which extracts the functional 

positioning and operational data to ensure the authenticity and validity of the data. 

3. Overview of the Tianfu Social Innovation Center Case 

3.1 Project Background 

Tianfu Social Innovation Center is located at No. 3, South Construction Road, Chenghua District, Chengdu, which 

was formerly an old factory building of the state-run Hongguang Electronic Tube Factory in Chengdu, and was 

later transformed into a service center for the Chengdu Federation of Trade Unions and Social Organizations of 

Groups and Associations. However, as a typical traditional administrative space, the service center was unable to 

meet the demand for connection between residents and failed to fulfill its vitality as a public space for citizens. So 

in 2021, under the planning and construction guidance of the Chengdu Municipal Committee of Social Governance, 

the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, the Municipal Youth League, the 

Municipal Women's Federation, and the Chenghua District Committee of Social Governance, the planning and 

design of the spatial renewal was initiated. 



hssr.ideasspread.org   Humanities and Social Science Research Vol. 8, No. 3; 2025 

 103 Published by IDEAS SPREAD 

 

At present, Tianfu Social Innovation Center includes the open sports space in the square, the innovative learning 

experience space for citizens on the first floor, the innovative R&D and cultivation center for social organizations 

on the second floor, and the innovative brand expansion center for social services on the third floor, which is a 

social innovation support center and public space for citizens undertaken by a professional public space operation 

social enterprise and operated in conjunction with a number of social organizations. 

In terms of scale and spatial characteristics, the former state-owned Hongguang Electronic Tube Factory in 

Chengdu, covering an area of about 3,000 square meters, covers industrial heritage, administrative space and other 

composite attributes, and after transformation, it forms a three-dimensional functional system of "plaza open sports 

space + citizens' innovative learning and experience space + social organization cultivation center", which is a 

typical community space for transformation of large-scale industrial heritage in a mega-city. It is a typical sample 

of transformation of large-scale industrial heritage into community space in a mega-city. 

In terms of innovative features, the center pioneered the model of "government guidance + social enterprise 

operation + synergy of multiple subjects", such as launching the public space visiting action by linking with the 

Social Governance Committee of the Chenghua District, introducing social enterprises such as "42 Good Tao" to 

form a convenient living circle, and building the "Party building-led grass-roots governance" model. It has also 

built a digital platform called "Party Building-led Grassroots Governance Resource Bank", which breaks through 

the limitations of the traditional community space led by the government and provides a replicable governance 

paradigm for the revitalization of unused space. 

In terms of urban representation, the project is located in Chengdu's Chenghua District, a typical industrial 

transformation area, and faces multiple challenges such as industrial heritage protection, upgrading of aging 

community services, and activation of the cultural needs of young people, etc. In the process of renovation, it 

integrates the "red-brick industrial memory" regional symbols and the "park city" regional symbols with the "park 

city" regional symbols. The integration of "red-brick industrial memory" regional symbols and "park city" 

construction concept during the transformation process not only echoes the demand for renewal of the old 

industrial base in Chengdu-Chongqing area, but also provides a dual-track development reference of "industrial 

civilization inheritance and community function regeneration" for the same kind of cities around the world, which 

has a general research value in the transition period of the city. 

3.2 Implementation Process 

3.2.1 Public Space Creation 

Scene as a way of spatial links, through the integration of functions in the superposition of space to achieve the 

creation of cross-border space, "culture" as the leading, the rest of the additional dilute the rigidity of the 

administrative community, the formation of "intention" of the soft space. Tianfu Social Innovation Center takes 

"social innovation" and "sustainable development" as its core values, and uses "red bricks", "trains" and "terrazzo" 

in the renovation process. Red bricks", "trains", "terrazzo" and other creative elements with a sense of industry are 

used in the renovation process to restore residents' memories of the old factory buildings and increase their affinity 

for the local space. 

3.2.2 Attracting Community Residents Through Differentiated Creation 

Cultural elements can also produce different scenes through different combinations, and attract different groups to 

come to live, live and consume practices. The plaza establishes themed community restaurants, teahouses, etc. so 

that people can sit down, and sets up an outdoor performance stage, retains sports facilities such as basketball 

courts, and combines with the landscape of the neighboring parks to form the entrance to the citizens' living scene. 

The first floor will be built into a four-level "living scene laboratory", but its specific expression is the citizens' 

innovative learning experience space: open self-study, book reading (learning scene), parent-child learning (family 

scene), yoga (sports scene), hidden disabled life scene, elderly life scene, etc. They are not independent labels, but 

hidden in the park. They are not independent labeled spaces, but are hidden in the entire first floor of the Civic 

Center. At the same time, Tianfu Social Innovation Center conducts interviews with the surrounding residents 

during the renovation process, to understand the local social and historical changes and the inner voices of the old 

generation of laid-off workers on the one hand, and to understand the real living conditions of the local young 

people and their sincere suggestions for the park city on the other hand, and to accommodate the needs of the 

residents in the design and to attract the participation of the main body of citizens. 

3.2.3 Coordinate the Layout of Greening and Functions 

Theories related to urban community planning suggest that large green environments, compact community 

neighborhoods, and sufficient square areas play an important role in the livability of urban communities.In the 



hssr.ideasspread.org   Humanities and Social Science Research Vol. 8, No. 3; 2025 

 104 Published by IDEAS SPREAD 

 

early 1990s, New Urbanism argued that modern community planning is to reconstruct a compact neighborhood 

community with traditional cultural spirit, making the community a public space with diverse functions. In the 

renovation design of Tianfu Social Innovation Center, the theme of "park" is used to connect the greenery with the 

surrounding parks to form a large-scale and effective greenway. The height of the building is controlled to preserve 

the blue sky, and functional areas such as sports fields, cafeterias, theaters and libraries are concentrated around 

or within the building to form a compact and multi-functional public space. 

3.2.4 Cross-Domain Resource Integration for Scenes 

Tianfu Social Innovation Center is not only a scene of citizens' life, but also accesses the government's public 

policy agenda, functioning many times as a place to visit and host meetings. Tianfu Social Innovation Center also 

integrates various social organizations to form community canteens, community second-hand supermarkets, 

community cafes, bookstores and other scenes. For example, the "Home Tou Tou" public service restaurant is 

stationed in the contracted community canteens and senior meal sites, which is not only open to all residents, but 

also provides meal subsidies to seniors over 65 years old and door-to-door meal delivery service for seniors with 

life difficulties. "42Shantao opened its first store in Chengdu at the Tianfu Social Innovation Center, providing 

recycling and low-cost exchange services for unused items. Neighboring residents often come to the store to 

participate in fundraising activities, shop for low-priced household items, and engage in volunteer activities, 

making it a place for neighborhood residents to engage in activities and emotional links. Through the integration 

of social organizations providing different services, the Tianfu Social Innovation Center forms a convenient 

community living circle with the Tianfu Social Innovation Center as the center of the circle, radiating the residents 

of the surrounding districts. 

4. Analysis of Sustainable Community Operation Using Tianfu Social Innovation Center as a Case Study 

Tianfu Social Innovation Center makes full use of the abandoned factories and open spaces in the community. 

Through rational planning and design, it transforms these spaces into community centers with multi-functional 

uses, and attracts the participation of residents by organizing a variety of community activities and cultural 

exchanges, which enhances the cohesion and vitality of the community. However, merely transforming the venues 

and attracting residents' participation cannot achieve sustainable community development. 

Sustainable community operation is an important initiative to improve the capacity of government services, public 

services and property services. In the current community governance in Chengdu, there are problems such as the 

government and society are not in place, the function of self-government is not sufficient, the participation of 

social forces is insufficient, the interaction between the government and society is not smooth, and the sense of 

professional identity of community workers is low. The sustainable development of the community needs to be 

tailored to the local conditions, to create community characteristics, to tap the community culture and community 

temperament, and to revitalize and upgrade the community model. Only the vitality stimulated from within the 

community can support the long-term sustainable development of the community. 

Combining the above issues, this section explores the path of sustainable community answer development from 

the Tianfu Social Innovation Center organization itself and related service products. 

4.1 Demand-Oriented: Accurately Capturing Residents' Demands and Spatial Pain Points 

4.1.1 In-Depth Excavation of Residents' Demands 

For industrial buildings and old neighborhoods in Chenghua District, we launched the "Public Space Visiting 

Action" jointly with the Social Governance Committee of Chenghua District, formed a team of experts from both 

inside and outside the province to go into five communities, and collected residents' real demands through 

household interviews and on-site observation based on the principle of "governance by faith". Based on the 

principle of "faith-based governance", the team collected residents' real demands through household interviews 

and on-site observation, and found high-frequency problems such as chaotic parking management, lack of control 

over unauthorized building works, and aging infrastructure. 

4.1.2 Spatial Functional Targeting 

Based on the dual considerations of industrial heritage protection and community service gaps, the former 

Hongguang Electronic Tube Factory is positioned as an "industrial cultural memory carrier + all-age public service 

hub", focusing on solving the problems of intergenerational cultural faults (e.g., demand for the inheritance of 

industrial memories by old workers) and fragmentation of public services (e.g., insufficient space for elderly 

activities and child-friendly facilities). Compound function modules such as cultural display, convenient services 

and social enterprise incubation are planned.

4.2 Multi-Dimensional Synergy: Building a Network of Government, Society, Enterprise and People's Common 

Governance 

4.2.1 Division of Labor and Coordination Among Governance Entities 

Government coordination. Relying on Chengdu's policy support, the Social Governance Committee of the 

Municipal Party Committee coordinates the allocation of sites and special funds, while the Chenghua District 

Government is responsible for supervision and evaluation, stripping away administrative intervention and 

strengthening the role of "policy provider". 

Enterprise Empowerment. Enterprises such as China Resources Land are introduced to undertake lightweight 

transformation of the space (e.g. construction of the children's sports corner), and social capitals such as the Ant 

Cloud Customer Service and the Alibaba Foundation are linked to activate the resource cycle through the model 

of "public welfare venture capital + commercial operation" (e.g. the Five Social Services for the Elderly project). 

Social organization operation. Local NGOs are commissioned to take the lead in operation, incubate brand projects 

such as "Intergenerational Question and Answer" and "Little Master of the City Series of Actions", and cultivate 

community self-organization, giving full play to the advantages of professional services and residents' mobilization. 

Resident autonomy. Establishing a mechanism of "demand negotiation and proposal decision-making", whereby 

residents directly intervene in spatial planning through visits and participatory design, for example, by voting on 

design proposals for the renovation of ageing-appropriate facilities, to strengthen the sense of "space owner". 

Awareness of "space owner" is strengthened. 

4.2.2 Resource Integration and Platform Building 

Online, the "Chengdu Party Building-led Grassroots Governance Resource Bank" small program was launched, 

integrating 600+ case banks, 400+ talent banks and 200+ social innovation product banks to open up supply and 

demand docking channels; offline, it hosted the "Supply and Demand Matchmaking Meeting for Reducing and 

Classifying Domestic Waste", which attracted 22 towns (streets) to participate in the meeting, and attracted more 

than 1,000 participants. Offline, we hosted the "Supply and Demand Matchmaking Meeting on Classification of 

Domestic Waste Reduction", which attracted the participation of 22 towns (streets) and 14 organizations, and 

facilitated the cooperation of 8 projects, thus realizing the accurate matching of policy resources, social capital and 

community needs. 

4.3 Continuous Operation: Activating Scene Value and Long-Term Mechanisms 

4.3.1 Scenario-Based Operation to Enhance Stickiness 

Cultural scenes. Create an "industrial time corridor" and turn the space into a carrier for intergenerational dialog 

through activities such as old photo exhibitions and employee skills experience, such as the "intergenerational 

quiz" activity, which facilitates the exchange of values between young and old employees and bridges the age gap. 

All-age service scenarios. We have developed an age-friendly community building manual, covering areas such 

as elderly care and child-friendly services, and opened intergenerational shared kitchens and parent-child creativity 

spaces to improve space utilization through time-sharing and reuse. 

Festive Consumption Scenarios. Combined with the May 4 Youth Day and other festivals, a "Sustainable Goods" 

bazaar will be held, linking community commerce and the cultural and creative industry, transforming cultural 

narratives into consumption experiences, and enhancing the attractiveness of the space and its ability to create its 

own blood. 

4.3.2 Long-Term Mechanisms to Ensure Sustainability 

Self-governance mechanism. Set up an "operation management committee" composed of residents, social 

organizations and enterprise representatives, formulate a "space use convention", and incorporate 30% of the 

commercial proceeds (e.g., from leasing the space) into the community micro-fund, which will be used for facility 

maintenance and activities, forming a "business for the public" mechanism. Closed loop. 

Dynamic monitoring and iteration. Through the intelligent system, we collect data on people flow and activity 

participation to adjust the service content (e.g., adding nighttime yoga classes to respond to youth demand), and 

cooperate with universities to establish "social innovation practice bases" to continuously export community 

governance experience and promote the extension of the value of the space to the field of social innovation.

5. Summary and Discussion 

5.1 Case Summary 

Tianfu Social Innovation Center has successfully created a multi-functional community center by effectively 

utilizing unused space in the community. Formerly an old factory building of the state-run Hongguang Electronic 

Tube Factory in Chengdu, the center has been transformed into a public space integrating exercise, learning, 

innovation and socialization. Through measures such as public space creation, differentiation to attract community 

residents, and a coordinated layout of greenery and functions, the Tianfu Social Innovation Center not only 

improves the quality of life of residents, but also strengthens the cohesion and vitality of the community. 

In the process of implementation, Tianfu Social Innovation Center focuses on the integration of cultural elements 

and the differentiated creation of scenarios, successfully attracting the participation of different groups. For 

example, the establishment of themed community restaurants and teahouses in the plaza, and the preservation of 

outdoor performance stages and sports facilities form the entrance to the citizens' living scenes. In addition, the 

center coordinates the layout of greenery and functions to form a large-scale and effective greenway, further 

enhancing the livability of the community. 

In terms of sustainable community operation, the Tianfu Social Innovation Center promotes sustainable 

community development by building an information platform, leveraging resident participation, developing 

community social enterprises, and researching and developing community service products. For example, through 

the "Chengdu Party Building-led Grassroots Governance Resource Bank" WeChat app, it provides professional 

consulting services on community development and governance and social organization cultivation. At the same 

time, the center has hosted several supply and demand matching sessions, promoting the participation of all parties 

in community governance. 

In terms of tapping into the vitality of the community, through a series of innovative initiatives and activities, the 

Tianfu Social Innovation Center has not only strengthened community cohesion, but also empowered new kinetic 

energy for community development. Its effect is not only reflected in the reuse of space and the diversification of 

functions, but also in the fact that through various activities and initiatives, it has stimulated the enthusiasm of 

community residents to participate, enhanced the community's self-development capacity, and laid a solid 

foundation for the sustainable development of the community. 

Overall, the revitalization of Tianfu Social Innovation Center has a remarkable effect, not only enhancing the space 

utilization rate of the community, but also promoting the virtuous cycle of community governance, providing 

useful reference and inspiration for the revitalization of unused space in other communities. 

5.2 Future Research Directions 

Future research can deepen the exploration of the revitalization of unused space in communities from the following 

dimensions: first, carry out cross-regional comparative research, select industrial transformation communities with 

different stages of urban development and cultural backgrounds (e.g., Wuhan Hanyang Iron Factory Area, 

Shenyang Tiexi Industrial Zone), compare and analyze the differences in their spatial revitalization paths and 

governance modes, and distill differentiated strategies for mega-cities, industrial old cities, and emerging urban 

areas, to further improve the We have refined differentiated strategies suitable for mega-cities, old industrial cities 

and new urban areas, and further improved the universality of the framework of "demand-oriented, multi-

dimensional synergy, and sustainable operation". Secondly, focusing on long-term effect assessment, through 

tracking and researching cases such as Tianfu Social Innovation Center, we have established a dynamic assessment 

system that includes indicators such as space utilization rate, resident participation, community economic gain, 

and social capital increment, etc., so as to quantitatively analyze the long-term effect of revitalization of unused 

space on community resilience enhancement, and to solve the short-term effect dilemma of "one-time renovation". 

In addition, we will deepen the research on technology empowerment. In addition, we will deepen the research on 

technology empowerment, explore the application of blockchain in community resource traceability, smart 

contract in multi-party collaboration, and the practice of VR/AR technology in industrial heritage scene 

reproduction, so as to provide technical paths for reference in the construction of "digital twin community". Finally, 

combined with the demand for policy innovation, we put forward the policy proposal of "local legislation pilot - 

financial subsidy mechanism - community self-governance charter" to address the system bottlenecks of property 

rights division, revenue distribution, and cross-sectoral coordination in the space renovation, so as to promote the 

transformation of the revitalization of unused space from individual case experience to standardized governance 

tools, and provide a replicable institutional template for the national old community renewal. It provides a 

replicable institutional template for the renewal of old communities nationwide.
