Entering　the　post-epidemic　era,　China’s　urban　development　is　facing　new　changes　and　challenges,　requiring　urban　regeneration　actions　to　take　new　measures　to　actively　respond　to　global　competition.　The　Business　Improvement　Districts　(BID)　spatial　management　framework　has　been　widely　disseminated　and　applied　in　many　countries　and　regions　around　the　world　as　an　innovative　tool　to　maintain　community　stability　during　the　economic　downturn　and　promote　urban　revitalization.　The　framework　has　the　possibility　and　significance　of　breaking　through　the　bottleneck　problem　of　older　residential　areas　regeneration.　It　has　proven　to　play　a　role　in　community　transformation,　but　the　conceptual　framework　has　not　yet　been　incorporated　into　China’s　urban　regeneration　practice.　In　view　of　this,　this　paper　sorts　out　and　analyzes　the　theoretical　origin,　implementation　cases　and　effects　of　the　BID　model　to　explore　the　adaptability　of　transferring　it　to　the　Chinese　context　and　its　local　practice.　It’s　necessary　for　China　to　learn　from　foreign　cases　but　implement　a　domestic　context-based　urban　regeneration　pathway　that　focus　on　BID　regeneration　of　blocks　and　large　enterprises.　The　BID　operational　and　management　scope　need　to　be　defined　scientifically　under　the　guidance　of　government　orientation.　Continuously　improving　the　bottom-up　operational　mechanism　in　practice　together　with　relevant　stakeholders,　ultimately　forming　a　sustainable　co-construction,　co-governance,　and　sharing　pattern,　and　promoting　community　transformation　and　revitalization.　It’s　of　greats　significance　for　breaking　through　the　bottleneck　problem　of　older　residential　areas　regeneration.　©　The　Author(s),　under　exclusive　license　to　Springer　Nature　Singapore　Pte　Ltd.　2025.
