Abstract
The Central Axis of Beijing represents the epitome of this typical feature of ancient Chinese capitals. In 2020, the Beijing government decided to extend it southward and northward, ushering in new opportunities for its protection and development. Based on the “Historical Urban Landscape” analysis framework, the paper constructs an overall analysis framework of the central axis, including its historical evolution, its relationship with Beijing’s macro landscape pattern and its changes, its relationship with urban elements, and the property rights arrangement and public opinion analysis in its governance. Under this analysis framework, the paper expands the overall positioning of the new axis, and on the basis of the integration of historical and cultural heritage, natural ecological factors and urban elements, puts forward the overall control and management strategy system including the control scope, extension direction, horizontal space, axial space, traffic, water system, green space and ecological leisure system, context and governance system.
Highlights
The Central Axis of Beijing, as the epitome of the ancient Chinese axis, is an important part of urban culture and historical accumulation
The results show social public opinions vary in different governance projects in the central axis area
Through the investigation and analysis of three major river systems (Wenyu River system, Chaobai River system, and Yongding River system) and 15 major rivers within the area of the central axis, we found that the water networks density is relatively large and the water networks systems have become a scale in the current area of the traditional central axis
Summary
The Central Axis of Beijing, as the epitome of the ancient Chinese axis, is an important part of urban culture and historical accumulation. The. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines the HUL as a comprehensive method for the overall protection and management of urban areas under the sustainable development framework [20]. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines the HUL as a comprehensive method for the overall protection and management of urban areas under the sustainable development framework [20] It mainly consists of six critical steps: mapping the distribution of natural and cultural resources, defining the protection value and characteristics of heritage through public participation, vulnerability assessing of characteristics, integrating heritage into overall framework of urban development, prioritizing actions related to protection and development, and establishing a multi-party coordination mechanism for each protection and development project. The paper puts forward the overall management and control system of the North–South extension of the central axis, which includes nine aspects: control scope, extension direction, axial space, horizontal space, traffic, water system, green space and leisure system, context protection and governance system (Figure 1)
