Analysis on the protection and sustainable development of traditional villages and towns based on low-carbon thought: A case study of traditional low-carbon design thought to optimize sustainable development of villages and towns in Jiangnan, China

Abstract

Under the background of rural revitalization, the important goal is to help the sustainable development of villages and towns. While implementing the concept of green development, development needs to promote the inheritance and continuous activation of rural culture. In this paper, the ancient architectural wisdom and green design concept contained in the traditional houses in the south of the Yangtze River were studied, and how to extract the low-carbon ideas and combine them with modern green technology to achieve the parallel development of villages and towns and the preservation and promotion of traditional culture was explored. The research results also provide new ideas for village development and cultural heritage in a carbon-neutral context.
