What is the relationship between urban vitality and aesthetics and urban renewal , and how it plays a role?
Recently, as one of the expert judges of the "2022 Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle Urban Renewal Excellent Practical Case Collection Activities", Cui Ting, head of Chengdu Blue Top Art Center, said in an exclusive interview with Daily Economic News that urban renewal is an adjustment based on the trend and trend of the living environment in the process of urban development. The innate group attributes of people have a huge contradiction with the current cold and quiet social relationships, and the satisfaction of material life further highlights the emptiness of people's spiritual life and the loneliness of thoughts and emotions. Urban renewal is becoming more and more important at this time. How to create a truly livable environment has become an urgent proposition.

At today, the degree of industrialization and intelligence is getting higher and higher, and some urban construction is becoming more and more standardized and tends to be similar. On the other hand, with the development of networking and the rise of online shopping craze, people can meet the basic needs of life without leaving home, and the relationship between cities and people tends to be alienated.
Cui Ting believes that if you want to enhance the vitality of the city, you must fully release the passion of urban participants and show the civilized achievements of urban co-construction and sharing. We must respect the cultural heritage and regional characteristics of each city. He suggested: we should provide more places for people to communicate freely, open more public areas to hold popular activities, stimulate the sense of participation of the masses, allow personalized display, and enhance the interaction between cities and people.
The rational use of non-homogeneous public areas, especially the flexible management of streets in commercial and living areas, is like the song "Chengdu" "Go to the end of Yulin Road and be at the entrance of the tavern", and encounter surprises at the corner instead of rows of cold isolation fences. Cui Ting said that within a reasonable range, a certain public area will be transitioned to businesses or residents for use. Through publicity, communication and cooperation, we attach importance to local needs, encourage diversified participation, and pay attention to extensive sharing, so that they can give full play to their subjective initiative and create a fun, fun, leisure and artistic urban cultural display area. With the development of time, more humanistic qualities suitable for human settlement will naturally grow, allowing people to enjoy the leisure and pleasure in the free space in addition to refreshing audio-visual experiences.
In addition, the intervention of art has a great effect on improving the effect of urban renewal. Cui Ting said: "Art is soft and warm, and it can just by chance neutralize and supplement the hardness and coldness in urban materialization construction. From urban aesthetics to a picture, art plays an important role in the development of the city and people's lives." He said that especially for Chengdu, due to its long history and culture, in the process of urban renewal, we must further dig deeper into the cultural connotation, inherit the urban context, and let the cultural connotation of Tianfu be displayed.
The expanded public art not only refers to a public art work, but the artistic atmosphere in the public space. Cui Ting said that public art can rely on many forms as carriers to combine the attributes that hoped for the city to have, such as culture, art, and emotions, with the space in urban construction. "It can be a sculpture, an installation, or even an artistic tree and flower, which can minimize the sense of distance as much as possible, combine artistic works with architecture, environment, and human participation, pay attention to its application, interaction, and technological nature, and develop in a direction with dynamic and integrated characteristics." Cui Ting said that this method integrates art into life and into the city. This allows public art to not only shape the environment, but also shape people who are healthy physically and mentally through the environment.
Community is between cities and people. Many urban renewal projects involve communities. In this type of project, it is necessary to pay attention to interacting with the community through multiple types of art to stimulate residents to participate in community cultural activities, and to better reflect the universality of art in ordinary community places.One way is to make some artistic transformation and display based on the existing foundation, and the other is to create works based on the existing areas, and even some performance-oriented activities, which the masses can also join. These activities will be presented differently every time, allowing those who come here to visit and visit to see new things every time, giving the masses a constant sense of freshness.
Cultural activities are an important aspect of urban quality. Cultural activities and art festivals are held continuously, such as the Chengdu Biennale, Blue Top Art Festival, Creative Design Week, etc. The government-led and folk activities are blooming, showing their characteristics. In particular, folk art activities have stronger flexibility and participation. Art enters the community and connects with community residents. Art enters the campus and creates works and projects with students. The Blue Top Art Festival has conducted more than 50 activities in one session, and the whole city is blossoming, with nearly 10,000 directly participating.
Cui Ting said that the urban renewal mentioned today is to meet the needs of people's current travel and living environment improvement, and on the other hand, it also needs to leave a memory for later urban history writers, which is the advantage of humanities and art.
