Summary
More and more cities have presented a phenomenon of alienation that people grow away from each other and have a growing sense of distance in the city. It is an important topic that needs to be considered in contemporary city observation how to discover and sustain the real vitality factors and the continual sense of place of urban edge space. People familiar with Tan Hualin may have such images and feelings in their minds that as they walk along the renovated Tan Hualin Main Street (Figure 1), they will always quicken their steps unconsciously to explore the space ahead. When they reach the end of Tan Hualin Commercial Art Street, and turn around the corner, it seems as if they entered another world (Figure 2). What is the reason behind such contrast? Is the renovated commercial main district really “new” and the old residential district really “old”? This paper will explore the vitality factors of the edge space of Tan Hualin Historic District, and exactly interpret its role in “dynamic city lives”
