Urban planning, regeneration and design is an essentially cultural
practice with the outcomes often depending upon an understanding of
and engagement with the past. As cities in China strive to be
competitive and attractive on the world stage, their decaying
historical urban fabrics are being transformed into vibrant places
through historical-cultural led urban regeneration, however, the
impact of their rapid development has escaped serious scrutiny.
Heritage-led Urban Regeneration in China presents the detailed
evolution of three well-known historic streets in China: the
Southern Song Imperial Street in Hangzhou; the residential
Pingjiang Street in Suzhou; and the commercial Tunxi Old Street in
Huangshan. From their original formation to their more recent
regeneration, this book offers a critical evaluation of
historical-cultural led urban regeneration projects in China and
provides theoretical guidelines for contemporary practice in
relation to its tangible and intangible urban heritage. Using
interdisciplinary research in architecture, urban design, history
and cultural studies, Jing Xie and Tim Heath provide a detailed
analysis of the conservation and regeneration efforts of China as
an emerging and pivotal world power. An invaluable resource for
urban designers, urban planners and architects interested in and
working in China, Heritage-led Urban Regeneration in China helps
its readers to engage with the essential and invisible factors that
produce these revitalised places while forming a critical view
towards these projects.
