Abstract

In the face of COVID-19, urban residential areas in China have exposed problems such as large scale and insufficient public service facilities, leading to difficulties in closed management and basic living services in the time of epidemic prevention and control, and also reflecting the weak atmosphere of neighborhood watch and mutual assistance in the current urban stranger society. On the basis of analyzing the spatial attributes and social functions of the basic units of residential space, this article proposes to reconstruct the basic units of residential space in the mode of "Ankang neighborhood". In Chinese, "An" means safe, "Kang" means healthy. So the principle of the unit reconstruction of Residential Space is mainly based on the perspective of safety and health. This article discusses the scale, space, facilities and governance, and demonstrates the "Ankang neighborhood" with three typical residential areas in Nanjing, China. This article suggests "Ankang neighborhood" as residential space basic unit, to adapt to the more accurate social governance trend, so as to realize grassroots governance and social harmony. Although not perfect, it is very necessary to think about health, safety and resilience. It is an active exploration to respond to the growing needs of the people for a better life and build an all-age friendly residential space. It is also a beneficial attempt to build a new model of urban governance with high mobility and high density urban society.
