Nonetheless, the physical environments of the old housing is limited and
mostly revitalized by the private owner which the outcome can be very
much uneven from the architecture point of view. How to guide this
process without ruining the positive urban phenomenon during the
regeneration, is also very challenging.
4. PROPOSING DESIGN
APPROACH
Culture and historical cities like Xi’an, must be a collective joint of
all historic layers in the contemporary urban spaces. Regarding to inner
city regeneration, a culture sustainable design approach need to be
adopted to guarantee the diversity and compactness of the city. Culture
sustainable design approach can involve the promotion of culture-based
events and attractions along with encouraging the development of higher
quality housing and retail, and the attraction of professional
businesses to the area. It is highlighting the value of the matrix of
local cultural, and actors to improve the physical environment and
reconstruction of local cultural network\cite{Miles_2004}.We count on the
cooperation of multi-aspects will form a solid foundation in
participation and fulfillment of urban design and planning. (Fig.13)
