AHFE Open AccessElevator Installation in Old Residential Communities (EIOC): Towards Sustainable Urban Renewal
Abstract
The renovation of old residential neighborhoods is a key component of China’s urban renewal agenda, and elevator installation has emerged as an urgent need to improve older adults’ quality of life and promote sustainable community renewal. However, the rate of elevator installation remains relatively low. Therefore, this paper systematically reviewed relevant papers from CNKI and WoS, and adopted a bibliometrics study to identify the underlying issues and the research progress. The result shows there is a significant growth in EIOC research since 2020, focusing on the following five directions: (1) policy and governance; (2) finance and operations; (3) planning and design; (4) legal aspects; (5) construction and engineering. Research on EIOC is highly interdisciplinary. Future research with a truly interdisciplinary lens is needed. Advancing this integrated knowledge is paramount for transforming EIOC from a technical retrofit into a cornerstone of sustainable, age-friendly, and socially resilient urban communities, a core concern for the sustainable urban renewal agenda.
