Abstract:

The traditional urban form in historic Ningbo has undergone many radical transformations over the past two decades.The relatively homogeneous traditional fabric of the city has been damaged and remodeled following modernized urban models.This paper aims at synthesizing urban renewal and conservation through examining the revitalization of a particular traditional urban area.The case of the West Yuehu area of Ningbo is selected to show the planning approaches and proposals, constraints and contradictions regarding revitalization under this social transition.The methodology used in the research is divided into two parts:literature review and field study.The theoretical part of the research regarding urban conservation in China is based on literature review.The field study is conducted by the authors and groups of students from Southeast University.The complete methodology attempts to illustrate the dimensions of urban renewal by examining the processes, conflicts and results of revitalization of historic urban areas, considering the present changing socio-economic context.
