In Chinese cities the large-scale property-led neighbourhood renewal projects have demolished and reconstructed the homes of millions of urban residents.However,these projects were usually occurred in some specific “profitable” areas only,and left most real dilapidated neighbourhoods with high concentration of poor residents.Since the 2000,in some cities like Beijing,the local governments proposed a series of (experimental) public-led projects to renew the rest of the declined neighbourhoods and improve the living conditions of local residents.Many flagship projects have been completed in a very short time.However,real effects of these recent projects were never assessed officially.Researchers were also not experienced in analysing the efforts in a scientific way.Thus in this paper the evaluation framework based on European countries are imported to fill this academic gap.In most European developed countries like Britain,neighbourhood renewal projects have been widely regarded as the response to the multi-dimensional declines of the target neighbourhoods.The declines should involve the interacting problems across economic,social,environmental and other aspects.In this research a household survey on the domains of “housing and physical,employment,education,healthcare,other social services,safety,and community cohesion”,was completed in Jinyuchi located in the Beijing inner-city.All primary data were collected in winter 2007 through structured face to face interviews to nearly 2000 residents in this community.This research concludes that the positive effects of the renewal projects are really limited,only concentrated in the improvement of physical conditions; while in most economic and social issues the local promotion is really very slightly or even going worse.In all,most of real local needs were missed at all despite some residents gained benefits in some aspects.Therefore in future,besides the physical decline,the problems in the economic,social and other aspects must be aware of by policy-makers and more tailor-made approaches to return these problems are really in need.
