Population decline, youth outflow, and urban hollowing out are intensifying in non-metropolitan cities in Korea, and policy support is being concentrated to overcome the limitations faced by local cities in non-metropolitan areas. The combination of urban regeneration and start-up support policies as a means of policy support has become an important means of strengthening the inflow of youth start-ups and creating a virtuous cycle in the local economy beyond simple urban improvement. It is evolving into a variety of customized support policies that take into account the growth stage and industrial characteristics of founders. Accordingly, the effects of urban regeneration and regional ripple effects may vary depending on how the start-up support policy in urban regeneration is characterized. This study compared and analyzed the cases of youth mall, a space-providing policy, and green start-up town, a complex policy, targeting the original downtown of Cheonan-si, where urban regeneration and start-up policies were promoted in parallel. As a research method, literature research, policy case analysis, and in-depth interviews with founders and start-up support officials were conducted. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the complex start-up policy contributed to long-term regional competitiveness and the formation of an innovation ecosystem through technological innovation, youth employment, and creative space regeneration, while the space-providing policy had a more direct impact on social vitality through revitalization of commercial districts and community recovery. This shows that the nature and sustainability of urban regeneration effects may differ depending on the support method of the start-up support policy. In other words, it can be seen that the urban regeneration policy can secure sustainability through an integrated approach that connects startups, innovations, and communities beyond simple physical maintenance.
