Abstract

Elevator installation in aging residential communities has emerged as a critical policy measure in contemporary urban landscapes worldwide. This study addresses the multifaceted dynamics surrounding elevator installation, aligning with the imperatives of sustainable urban development and knowledge-driven innovation. Focusing on the evolving demographic landscape, particularly the aging population, this research underscores the urgency of addressing accessibility challenges in older urban areas. Drawing on empirical data and a system dynamics approach, this study unveils the symbiotic relationship between residents’ willingness and government promotion as the cornerstone of elevator installation dynamics. Residents’ support for elevator projects hinges on factors such as design plans, cost-sharing arrangements, and the potential for housing appreciation. Government entities play a pivotal role by providing policy support, creating favorable environments, and offering financial assistance. This research contributes theoretically by constructing a system dynamics model, providing a holistic framework for analyzing complex urban development processes. It also has practical implications for policymakers, property owners, and urban planners. Actionable recommendations emphasize community engagement, fair cost-sharing, architectural integrity, and policy support. In a broader context, this study highlights the dissemination of knowledge-driven solutions in urban infrastructure renewal and underscores the importance of knowledge sharing in urban innovation. It advocates for proactive urban policies that enhance the quality of life in aging communities, promoting inclusive and convenient living environments. By bridging the gap between residents’ involvement and government initiatives, this research contributes to knowledge dissemination and the creation of more accessible, sustainable, and innovative urban spaces.
