The relatively homogeneous traditional fabric of the cityhas been damaged and remodeled following modernized urban models. This paperaims at synthesizingurban renewal and conservation through examining the revitalization of a particular traditionalurban area. The case of the West Yuehu area of Ningbo is selected to show the planning approachesand proposals, constraints and contradictions regarding revitalization under this social transition.The methodology used in the research is divided into two parts: literature review and field study.The theoretical part of the research regarding urban conservation in China is based on literaturereview. The field study is conducted by the authors and groups of students from SoutheastUniversity. The complete methodology attempts to illustrate the dimensions of urban renewal byexamining the processes, conflicts and results of revitalizationof historic urban areas, consideringthe present changing socio-economic context.展开更多
