Release time：2024-06-21
Global and Local:
Heritage Conservation and Urban Regeneration
As megacities enter an era of stock development in China, balancing heritage conservation with urban regeneration becomes an intertwined aspect of urban development. This dual challenge encompasses not only the protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage but also concerns the sustainable development of society, economy, and the environment. The symbiosis between heritage conservation and urban regeneration is not unique to China but represents a global issue and a common challenge faced by countries and regions worldwide in their urban development. This forum builds upon the long-standing academic collaboration between Tongji University and the Technical University of Mombasa, Kenya. The discussion will explore innovative approaches to heritage conser-vation and urban regeneration through cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchanges.
