Thousands of historical and cultural streets, how to live out their own model?

Culture is the soul of a city, and preserving urban culture is preserving the foundation of the city's character and development. American social philosopher Lewis Mumford mentioned in the book "City Culture": "Cities are containers of culture, dedicated to storing and circulating the fruits of human civilization, storing culture, circulating culture and innovating culture, which are about the three basic missions of cities."

Historic buildings and historic districts, as important carriers of traditional culture, are being protected more and more by urban planning managers. In the land for economic development, urban renewal in full swing, the protection of historical neighborhoods, historical and cultural environment has become the focus of historical and cultural protection, and such historical and cultural cities and neighborhoods around the world have been gradually maintained and repaired.

The prosperity of historical and cultural neighborhoods comes from the cross-border integration of tourism and commerce. By integrating a thriving and experiential tourism industry with a vibrant commercial sector, historical and cultural districts can be embraced by local citizens and worshipped by the industry. Every city has its own historic district, but there are very few successful historic and cultural districts. What kind of conditions and modes of operation are needed to create a successful historical and cultural district?

With the accelerated pace of urban renewal, industrial restructuring and upgrading, the protection and development of historical and cultural streets has become a lot of local governments have to face the problem for a city, especially with a lot of cultural and historical buildings in the city, the big demolition of the big building not only does not represent the modernization of urban construction, on the contrary, it's a disregard and brutal destruction of urban history and culture.

At present, China's historical and cultural neighborhoods are still facing a number of problems, mainly the demolition of the real building fake and large-scale demolition of the problem. Demolition of the old to build new, retro-fake problem is repeated. The emergence of these phenomena, some are cognitive problems, some are methodological problems. In the process of protection and renewal of historical and cultural neighborhoods, should follow the protection of the historical authenticity of the neighborhood, the integrity of the landscape and the principle of continuity of life, do not tear down and build.

The reason why we want to continue the old texture of historical and cultural neighborhoods is because it is a natural growth, which is gradually formed over the years along with the individual users. Therefore, on a human scale, it is reasonable and close to human behavior patterns. Both the creation of new buildings and new patterns and the renewal of traditional buildings and clusters in historic districts should be regarded as the result of living growth and reproduction. Each area has its own ecological and cultural structure, and the growth and reproduction originate from the structural characteristics of the organic life form itself, which should be recognizable.
