This study aims to explore the concept of urban redevelopment through the lens of the aesthetics of care, emphasizing the dynamic, interconnected nature of cities and the role of residents in their transformation. It found that urban redevelopment should prioritize “nested care,” where various agents, including residents, developers, and local governments, collaborate to care for the city in a way that sustains both the urban environment and its inhabitants. I believe that my study makes a significant contribution to the literature by offering a new conceptual framework that combines aesthetics, care ethics, and urban redevelopment, providing a more holistic approach to city planning. The study suggests that urban redevelopment policies should prioritize the inclusion of residents in the decision-making process and consider the long-term, collaborative care required to sustain vibrant, livable cities.
