Because of this, this study tries to find the following questions and prepare countermeasures. Firstly, Urban Regeneration is primarily discussed from a declining old downtown phenomenon. Why does it happen? Second. if we find out the cause of the declining phenomenon, can we come up with proper countermeasures?
