Abstract

In 1982, the Chinese government approved the status of ‘National Famous Historical and Cultural City of Guangzhou’. This recognition acknowledged the value of the historical urban fabric and traditional streets of Guangzhou. This paper considers the morphological and physical characteristics of Xiguan area inside Guangzhou and analyses its urban fabric, traditional building typology, and daily social activities. The case study examines the Enning Road Historical Conservation Area and the Micro-renovation project of the Yongqing Fang Community. The value of heritage and urban characteristics became the source of the revival of local identity and cultural traditions.
