      abstract = {This book is an unusual attempt to study urban  regeneration. First, it is based on mapping the realities  of urban regeneration case study examples and their impacts  on people, places, and city life experiences. Second, it is  context-specific, exploring only a particular region rather  than covering one country or multiple locations. Hence, the  aim is to avoid generic and global solutions but rather  focus on local pathways and directions. Third, it delves  into specific case study examples that could share some  lessons for research, practice, and academia, particularly  in the field of urban regeneration. This book is the first  of (hopefully) many more on the way in urban mapping  studies with various themes and focus areas. The ultimate  goal is to ensure urban mapping is recognized well and  practiced extensively in research and education. It is  essential to map realities in cities and communities, those  that we usually witness but should be experienced,  perceived, and touchednot just via desk research. Mapping  techniques are more than just common tools in urbanism,  urban geography, urban studies, urban planning, etc. They  are not just tools but inventive ways of understanding  cities, places, communities, experiences, and people. Thus,  in this book, we try to understand more about people and  places through life experiences and mapping the urban  regeneration projects of multiple cities in Yunnan  Province. This collection is based on a very concise  context-specific research focused on only one region. The  decision to do so is intentional, just because contextual,  cultural, and local attributes need to be looked at more  accurately, considerably, and dexterously. Hence, this  collection delves into case study examples of an inspiring  location where traditions remain, resources are plenteous,  and cultures are diverse. Yunnan is one of the few  provinces left in China that offers a lot for comprehensive  research studies at the urban, rural, and township levels.  The experiences we gained from mapping studies,  observations, and multi-stakeholder engagements are  exceptionally rich and vibrant, allowing us to think more  holistically and find ways and suggestions beyond just the  generic globalized models elsewhere. We hope the book will  be useful to various stakeholders, particularly urban  specialists, researchers, and students. It is also a  valuable collection for policymakers, decision-makers, and  governmental authorities, who should refrain from top-down  processes and bring back people to the heart of urban  regeneration processes.},
