The physical and social decay problems of these areas start to become severe in recent years. There has already been some researches and regeneration of the buildings in these areas, but the public space quality is dissatisfied and most anticipated by residents to regeneration. The spatial problems, aging problems, and the ability to adapt climate changes are the most severe challenges of the public space of new workers' estates. The current urban regeneration generates 180 million tons of construction, demolition, and decoration waste (CDDW) per year in Shanghai. Because of the large amount of material flow and the harsh environmental impact, the regeneration mode of new workers' estates should change compared to the current linear construction. This research aims to use circular construction to improve public space quality solving spatial and aging problems in multi scales. Meanwhile, make the regeneration design future adaptive to changes. Through the literature review of the existing circular construction techniques, the methods suitable for applying CDDW to public spaces are selected. In order to meet the three principles of circularity, elderly adaptive and future adaptive at the same time, the toolbox of the modular design was designed. It will be applied to the case site showing as a design framework. In order to implement, systemize, and generalize the circular regeneration, use the collaborative circular construction network. It can be concluded that the CDDW generated during the regeneration of new workers' estate is circularly used to improve the public space quality and make the public space more sustainable and adaptive to future changes in both neighborhood scale and urban scale.
