20th century 90 since the early 1990's, China's urbanization process has entered a rapid development stage. Dajiang there is a north-south-largest site, the construction area full swing, the Old City of spreading. However, in the "old sandwich", some after many vicissitudes, urban context and character of the neighborhoods, ancient architecture, ancient villages, ancient houses demolished addition, many rich cultural relics and historical information of the ancient ruins, ancient tombs were destroyed. With the increasing modernization of the appearance of the city, the city is also eliminate the Detroit personality.
The city's history and culture and personality by the destruction, people tended to blame part of the city and business leaders, that they preserve the urban history and culture and personality of its importance, urgency understand the light to emphasize economic development and cultural connotation tendency. Such criticism and good, but I think that there are two factors that should not be overlooked:
First, most of the cities in China, have so far done heritage survey, conducted no serious comprehensive cultural investigation. Heritage and culture are two different concepts: historical and cultural heritage is the essence remains, the number is very limited; The culture is much broader scope, we must engage in serious and comprehensive investigation and assessment, we can not make a scientific definition. France was the climax of modernization, the country has more than 6,000 municipalities identify cultural resources of devotion, "to the churches, small spoons," something, go all out to safeguard the sacred historical and cultural dignity. China's modernization in these years, the process of urbanization, such investigations have not yet organized.
Second, the Western model of urban culture and the influx of Chinese traditional culture by the city's tremendous impact. Some high-level domestic developers and planners, architects, often formalism understanding of modern Western cities, the simple copying Western cities surface forms. Yang invited from abroad planners, architects Yang, the Chinese do not understand the historical heritage and cultural background, it is easy to copy the model of Western cities. In fact, even the Western model outstanding, it may not have suitable for China; Moreover, some Western practices are not necessarily reasonable, good.
Many cities want to have their own leaders in charge of urban "city" does not know the building "city" is not the key to large-scale, wide roads, buildings, but because of its strong personality - not only in countless cities in the world showing a uniqueness, but not universally acknowledged to have claimed the irreplaceability. Switzerland has a pocket northeastern town of Davos, only over 10,000 population, the streets are bungalow-style family hotel, but the broadcast world, and every year attracts top personalities here in the unofficial international economic summit - the "World Economic Forum", commonly known as "Da Biswas meeting. " This small town in the world of the town of experience is worth our good reference.
