Reflections on the Renewal of Historical Buildings in Old Urban Areas under the Organic Renewal Theory

A Case Study of Tianjin Quanyechang Area

Abstract

After the development of domestic cities has undergone internationalization and modernization, the academic

community has increasingly recognized the growing issue of unsustainable urban development. Against this backdrop,

the theory of organic renewal has gained widespread acceptance in the domestic academic community. Old urban areas,

typically found in more mature urban regions, have become the primary focus of urban renewal eforts over time. This

paper selects the Tianjin Quanyechang area as a case study, analyzing causes of the challenges faced in its renewal,

including cost depression, unconventional renewal needs, and current regulatory constraints, and puts forward new ideas

for the protection and reuse of historical buildings from many aspects.
