Study on the Strategy of Enhancing the Spatial Vitality of Streets in Historical Districts - Fengxiang as an Example

Abstract

As the main carrier of the evolution and development of historic districts, streets are the important foundation of street space, architectural texture and neighborhood vitality. However, in recent years, due to the inappropriate way of protecting the historic district and the rapid development of motorization, the spatial quality of the streets in the historic district has been declining and the vitality of the district has suffered a great impact. Located in Fengxiang District of Baoji City, Fengxiang Historic District has insufficient neighborhood vitality and poor spatial quality. In order to improve the vitality of the neighborhood and optimize the spatial quality of the neighborhood, we take "Wenchangxiang-Tongwenxiang-Feltersxiang Historic District" and "Xinzhuangxiang Historic District" in Fengxiang District as examples through a combination of qualitative description and quantitative analysis, and examine the causes of the lack of vitality of the neighborhood in terms of economy, culture and environment. The reasons for the lack of vitality of the neighborhoods are explored from three aspects. Finally, we propose the strategy to improve the vitality of the neighborhoods by upgrading the commercial space and creating diversified business modes, exploring the cultural connotation and forming regional linkage, and optimizing the neighborhood environment and strengthening the neighborhood management.
