Music by Lesfm from Pixabay 445R_Driving mechanisms of green regeneration in old industrial areas under ecological security constraints: Evolutionary game theory oriented toward public satisfaction (research debate)
13-07-2026 | 12 Min.Are you interested in how regeneration can help old urban areas?
Debate of the article titled Driving mechanisms of green regeneration in old industrial areas under ecological security constraints: Evolutionary game theory oriented toward public satisfaction from 2024, by Yang Zhang, Chang Liu, and Caixia Hou, published in the Journal of Urban Planning and Development.
This is a great preparation to our next interview with Andy Roberts in episode 446 talking about regenerative design principles.
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see what mechanisms can drive green regeneration in aging industrial districts. This article suggests that achieving sustainable urban transformation requires a balance of public supervision, strategic subsidies and strict environmental regulations.

Abstract: Old industrial areas have numerous ecological safety problems, requiring green regeneration to mitigate related risks. This study considered the impact of public participation and willingness to adopt green regeneration of old industrial areas and developed an evolutionary game model for the local government and developers. Then, we analyzed the initial strategy and relevant variables of the game through MATLAB (version 2021a) simulation to inform the establishment of green regeneration of old industrial areas. The study results showed that public willingness to use regenerated industrial areas and green preferences could motivate the adoption of green regeneration among developers. The incremental cost of ecological restoration of old industrial areas considerably hinders developers from opting for green regeneration. When the incremental cost exceeds the government’s financial subsidies and policy preferences, developers often opt for traditional renovation. Furthermore, punitive measures enforced by local government against developers were found to be more effective than incentives; when the cost of punishment exceeds the incremental cost of ecological restoration, developers often opt for green regeneration. Although the ecological safety concerns in old industrial areas can prompt local governments to opt for stringent regulations and developers for green regeneration at the beginning of the game model, evolutionary stability is not reached.
