ABSTRACT

What will be the future of Chinese urban heritage in the context of globalisation and a socialist market? Ju Er Hutong, as one of the first rehabilitation projects to take place during China’s late-1980s housing reforms, is generally considered a successful initiative in terms of urban regeneration and historic area conservation. To what extent does this success demonstrate a capacity to develop new policies and a new planning approach in the current Chinese urban regeneration process? To answer this question, and to summarize its achievements and its remaining unsolved problems, this paper provides the following insights: (1) an analysis of the evolution of Ju Er Hutong to its current form; (2) a literature review concerning the background and the outcome of the rehabilitation process; and (3) a critical assessment of the overall process, so as to summarize its constitutive advantages and problems.

KEYWORDS
