Abstract: |
The balance between street space conservation and traffic development is a weak point in current historical city conservation study. The street network of historical city formed in the non-motorized period is quite different from the modern one formed in the motorized period. Based on international experiences of street renewal ideas, the article puts forward six methods from the perspective of city planning and design as follows: adjusting the overall traffic structure cautiously, setting up organic loop system, developing the underground traffic positively, plugging in threedimensional traffic harmoniously, redesigning road sections and redeveloping light rails. Hopefully they are of benefit to the solution of traffic problems and street space conservation in China’s historic cities. |
