REGENERATION CHARACTERISTICS AND ENLIGHTENMENT OF URBAN ABANDONED RAILWAYS AND AREAS ALONG RAILWAYS IN PARIS UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF HIGH-DENSITY DEVELOPMENT

In the industrial age, a large number of railway transportation networks were formed in Paris urban area. Under the background of industrial recession and urban regeneration, the urban abandoned railways and areas along railways have become potential resources for renewal in the high-density city environment of Paris. Nowadays, many urban waste railways facilities, and areas along railways in Paris have been transformed into public activity spaces and landscapes, such as trails, shared gardens, art spaces, which have become important destinations for public life and sightseeing and played a positive role in the construction of urban green network. The evolution and revitalization characteristics of the Vincennes Railway Line and small ring railway in Paris were interpreted in terms of the histories, renewal processes, regeneration methods and post-renewal values. The regeneration model of multi-participation and spontaneous regeneration, as well as the multiple regeneration approaches such as implanting multiculturalism, maintaining existing habitats and shaping public lifes, and the post-renewal values in terms of historical memory continuation, cultural image shaping, quality of life improvement, the urban ecological restoration, regional economic development, etc. were summarized. The corresponding thoughts and suggestions were proposed from the aspects of regeneration methods, operation modes and sustainable development.
