Co-evolution: A Model for Renovation of Traditional Villages in the Urban Fringe of Guangzhou, China

Abstract

With the expansion of urban areas, many traditional villages with high heritage values in the urban fringes in China are being destroyed. This study proposes a resilient method for renovating traditional villages in the urban fringe in Guangzhou, China. The authors begin with an analysis of two existing renovation models from the constitutional, economic, and social perspectives. Based on our reorganization of the advantages and disadvantages of the two models, the authors suggest the application of the co-evolution model, which entails the establishment of an intermediate space supporter between the urban area and the village. Consequently, urbanization capital can be accumulated and effectively distributed into relevant fields. The goals of this process include protecting cultural heritage, maintaining social networks, eliminating hidden social dangers, and creating new employment opportunities. The co-evolution model respects the development needs of both urban and rural areas, and seeks a win-win situation, wherein each party could adapt and renew themselves gradually and positively. Thus, this model has significance in the renovation of traditional villages in the urban fringe.

The Relationship between Intangible Cultural Heritage and Urban Resilience: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Academics argue that preservation should be considered for the building of a sustainable city, since the conservation of cultural heritage has several positive impacts to long-term community sustainability. These impacts correspond to an increase in property values; the development of heritage tourism and the reuse of buildings and structures; the enhancement of the local economy and a tool to foster a sense of pride [61][62][63][64]; and for the enhancement of both tangible and intangible heritage [61]. In fact, the negative impact of urban planning on local culture can be avoided with the use of cultural heritage policy practices as tools to better bridge the gap between the traditional conservative vision of protection and a new forward-looking perspective of urban planning, living heritage, which includes more dynamic and intangible aspects.…”

“…However, the author believes that socio-cultural aspects are less prioritised for adaptive reuse projects since they are challenging to measure. On the other hand, [62,64] assert that a holistic approach must exist, one which empowers people to repurpose historic centres, and broadens the perspectives of interventions.…”
