Abstract
Urban renewal is profoundly reshaping the appearance and social role of historic districts. How to achieve rational utilization while protecting them has become a core issue for sustainable development. Traditional single-mode protection focuses on static maintenance, which is insufficient to meet the real-world needs of the diversified transformation of district functions. By establishing a comprehensive value assessment framework for historic districts, researching effective strategies for revitalizing their physical spaces under the premise of protection, and exploring innovative new models for sustainable cultural and ecological development, we can achieve the dual benefits of effective inheritance of heritage value and revitalization of regional space.
