Abstract:Taking Guilin Road in Changchun City as an example, this paper uses qualitative research methods to explore the phased characteristics and mechanisms of neighborhood-scale commercial gentrification from 2000 to 2023. The study found that the commercial gentrification in Guilin Road has gone through four stages: 1) From 2000 to 2005 marks the nascent stage of commercial gentrification. A little number of subcultural consumption formats emerged on the periphery of the block; 2) From 2006 to 2011 marks the stage of youthification, during which youth cultural consumption facilities gathered within the block, and youth cultural activities are diverse and vibrant; 3) From 2012 to 2017 marks the stage of gentrification. The rapid emergence of new business formats drove a comprehensive upgrade in function and landscape of the block, thereby replaced traditional ones; 4) From 2018 to 2023 marks the popularization stage. The popularity of Guilin Road on online media was increased, and the number of tourist-oriented mass consumption facilities, especially catering formats, were increased significantly. The study uses a gentrification framework to explain how urban commercial streets evolve, highlighting the mechanisms of multi-agent and spatial interaction evolution. This provides valuable insights for revitalizing commercial streets.
