Abstract：High-quality spatial governance carries people's vision of a better life.In the context of stock renewal,building a co-construction,co-sharing,and co-governance community home based on daily residential landscape renewal has become an important strategy to facilitate grassroots governance in the Old City of Beijing.As a traditional Hutong area oriented to the residential function,the alleys and courtyard landscapes surrounding the Dazhiqiao Hutong in the Old City of Beijing are characteristic of a typical daily residential landscape of historic cities.Based on community construction in Dazhiqiao Hutong,this study explores more possibilities for promoting co-sharing governance according to landscapes in the context of multi-subject cooperation.In line with the participatory community self-governance planning,boundaries for public areas,semi-public areas and autonomy areas were determined and their rights and obligations were clarified.The refined daily landscape renewal was designed within the limited space to meet diversified needs.The full-cycle companionship method was used as the technical guarantee,and it included pre-survey,participatory design,and post-use evaluation.Sustainable community co-construction tools were employed,including activities and the popularization of science and management.Eventually,more than 70 community residents were invited to participate in autonomy planning,and 16 micro-construction points and half-meter gardens were built.Moreover,the institutionalization process was explored to guide residents in participating in living space optimization in Hutong through daily landscape renewal in old cities and achieve refined governance.This study provides references for community public space renewal in historic cities and contributes some experiences to facilitate grassroots social governance.
