Culture-Eco Synergy: A Holistic Approach to Urban Regeneration

This volume comprehensively presents over two decades of design practices by Professor Zhang Jie and his Tsinghua University team in urban conservation and regeneration. Structured around four thematic sections—holistic urban conservation, careful renewal of historic quarters, industrial regeneration, and cultural-context stitching, the book covers landmark projects, including the Conservation Plan for Guangzhou Historic City, Jinan Spring-City cultural landscape, conservation of Fuzhou SanfangQixiang Historic Quarter, and the globally acclaimed Jingdezhen Taoxichuan ceramic industrial heritage regeneration. Innovatively proposed is the theoretical-methodological framework of "cultural-green integration, old-new symbiosis," which transcends passive preservation toward a heritage-led urban renaissance. Bridging Western urban regeneration paradigms with Chinese cultural-logic-based practices, this work serves as both an essential scholarly reference and a professional guide for architects, urban planners, landscape architects and conservation practitioners.
