With the further advancement of China's urbanization, urban spatial development has focused more on structural adjustment in the increase of construction land and the quality improvement and renovation of the existing land. The historic built environment of a city means milestones of the times over the evolution of urbanization, which forms the local memory and shapes the city's character. In progressive, organic, and high-quality urban renewal, the historic built environment's role and prospects are increasingly important. In the context of heritage inheritance and innovation as targets through dynamic regulation, this symposium will discuss how to put the action driven by conservation solely under a comprehensive framework of multiple goals, which integrates local cultural conservation and development, interpretations and illustrations of cultural values, ecological and environmental conservation, and local socio-economic development.
