Memory Mining and Spatial Transformation of Daily Landscape in Renewal of Tianjin Old City by Chunyan ZHANG, Xinyi ZHANG, Tianying HOU

“…Consequently, redeveloped old urban areas often lose their unique cultural identity, exhibit issues of homogenization, functional inadequacy, and spatial fragmentation. To address these challenges, this research aims to explore various carriers of urban daily landscape memory across different historical periods, systematically excavate the embedded memories, and establish meaningful connections between these memories and the spatial characteristics of daily landscapes, so as to strengthen residents sense of cultural identity, facilitate the co-development of urban vitality through the empathetic power of daily landscapes.Methods1) Selection basis for landscape memory entities: The research is grounded in the integrated perception of landscape and human interaction articulated in the European Landscape Convention. …”
