It is necessary to examine changing processes of the urban spaces and functions, such as important economic bases and urban growth processes, to apply urban regeneration methods like activations of the current CBD. After reviewed the past research compared 82 cities in the nation, this study selected Chungjushi as a target city in decline which is a local small and medium-sized city with about 200,000 populations The research results are as follows: Firstly, the analysis of results on urban expansions showed that Chungjushi has experienced rapid urban sprawls since 1990 while it became a city in 1956 Secondly, in the case of urban expansion before 1990, Chungjushi had been naturally expanded based on the CBD and adjacent regions. As a result, Chungjushi is separated into the original CBD, the adjacent regions to CBD developed before 1990, and the suburbs developed after 1990. Thirdly, the analysis on special functions indicated that functional declines in the adjacent regions to CBD were more severe than CBD. It showed that Chungjushi where urban structures are almost complete will be needed to consider both CBD and the adjacent regions rather than only targeting CBD for urban regeneration.
