Abstract: Urban renewal has been an essential strategy for urban development in China. The decision to redevelop land in the process of urban renewal will help to optimize urban spatial layout, guide functional positioning, and improve the physical environment, to solve the urban land resource shortage problem and achieve sustainable development. This research aims to simulate the dynamic trend of land-use change by using the Cellular Automata (CA) model; with various complex settings, the actual urban renewal status, as well as three scenarios for future development, are simulated and analysed in the case study of Chongqing to assist and support stakeholders in making proper decisions for future urban planning.
