NIKKEN SEKKEI URBANISMLOCAL CULTURE & IDENTITY064 _ 06520062010201320032000Since China’s economic reforms in the late 1970s, Shanghai, the country’s largest city, has experienced rapid expansion and urbanization. While growth mainly happened outside of the core city, the city center also experienced change as the densely populated Shikumen quarters with rather poor living conditions are replaced by modern high rise apartment buildings.Xintiandi, 3.6 ha in size, is part of the greater Taipingqiao Redevelopment Project. The revitalization project comprises 52 ha of land in the centre of Shanghai, containing 23 residential blocks with originally more than 200 lanes of the original Shikumen houses. The Xintiandi development had created a precedent case where local government, private companies and international design consultants formed a strong coalition towards development. The successful preservation and re-use of original urban fabrics which lead to the re-establishment of Xintiandi’s unique identity has since been adapted around the country as a strategy of urban renewal.©Google ©Google ©Google ©Google ©Google
