Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the value of Hubei Ancient Village as an example of urban villages by examining its historical evolution, cultural continuity, existing problems and corresponding connection to the development of Shenzhen. This paper expounds the necessity of maintaining Hubei Ancient Village, an urban village, and proposes a low-disturbance plan for protecting the human environment and advancing the progressive renewal of the material landscape to ensure the overall protection of the village at the dual levels of material and culture. This study also provides a reference for the formulation of protection rules for other urban villages.
