Abstract

Public participation has become more and more important in the urban redevelopment. However, the implementation effect of the public participation is less than satisfactory. This article aims to recognize and analyse the key factors for the effect of the public participation in urban redevelopment. Government administrators and the public in China were surveyed to gather data to test the index system for the factors identified by literature review and expert interviews in the effect of the public participation in urban redevelopment. The results show that the characteristics of developer have no significant effect on the effect of the public participation, which is different from the abroad situation. The characteristics of government have remarkable significant effect on the effect of the public participation, the characteristics of public come second, the external environment conditions come third.
