Urban Regeneration — Shared Mobility Ecosystem for Beijing Hutong Communities

​This project explores the transformation of Beijing’s hutong neighborhoods under the tension between modernization and preservation. As rapid urbanization challenges the original pedestrian-scale fabric, traditional public life has gradually been replaced by fragmented vehicular spaces. The research investigates how mobility systems can become a catalyst for community regeneration.

Through field analysis and behavioral mapping, I studied how residents adapt to the changing street environment and how their relationship with transportation has evolved.

Building on these insights, I proposed a Shared Mobility Ecosystem — a micro-scale system integrating shared electric mobility, modular resting nodes, and flexible social spaces, reactivating the street as a living infrastructure for everyday life.

​​The proposal redefines the hutong road from a mere passageway into a social interface — where movement, community, and environment coexist.
