Abstract
The current urban development in China has generally entered the stage of urban renewal. Facing the urban mix of old and new, different forms of collage picture, the urban design exploration of continuing the urban context has important theoretical value and practical significance for the urban renewal of the old urban area. Based on the analysis of the explicit and implicit context, this paper raises six strategies for urban design in the old city, namely texture improvement, building integration, interface reconstruction, information implantation, functional compounding, and benefit balancing. As an empirical evidence, the urban design of the old city further discusses the importance of the continuity of the context for urban renewal in the old city.
Highlights
At present, “juxtaposition” is the typical scene in the old urban area: traditional historical streets, towering skyscrapers, dilapidated shanty towns and modern upscale residential areas
Facing the "juxtaposed" collage picture, it is of great theoretical value and practical significance to explore the continuity of context in the spatial order, urban image and development guidance of the old urban area by means of urban design, so as to retain the nostalgic memory of local residents
The participation of multiple stakeholders in the process of urban design is a kind of human psychological behavior
Summary
“juxtaposition” is the typical scene in the old urban area: traditional historical streets, towering skyscrapers, dilapidated shanty towns and modern upscale residential areas. The mixture of the old and the new, and the different elements of the form all appear surprisingly on the same canvas. Facing the "juxtaposed" collage picture, it is of great theoretical value and practical significance to explore the continuity of context in the spatial order, urban image and development guidance of the old urban area by means of urban design, so as to retain the nostalgic memory of local residents
