This paper uses the regeneration of Sanxia Old Street as a case study, and based on the discourse of urban regeneration and everyday diversity observes the impact of the regeneration of local shopping street on its ecosystem, everyday diversity, and social world. This paper aims to provide a micro-perspective of local neighborhood and street level to understand the Taiwan’s politicization of regenerating old street discourse in which the old street is re-casted as the resources and dividends for developing cultural industries and tourism. It assumes that the old diversity of traditional shops has to be replaced by the new diversity of cultural and tourist shops. The limitations are shown as follows: after regeneration, the old shopkeepers and residents are not able to find their original habitat; the local shoppers lose their daily social world and sense of kinship; both of them lose the moral ownership of the old street. Nevertheless, the new ecosystem of local shopping streets is fragile and unstable due to the demand of high rents and high profit. And also those enormous mobile tourists are less able to create a new social world and sense of kinship due to the short stay and lack of interaction. Therefore, the ecosystem and diversity of local shopping streets is highly mobile and unstable. |
