Abstract

Historic gardens and parks have significant cultural meanings and their heritage value has been widely recognized. Including classical gardens, which are supposed to maintain their original design and keep their constant functions and features, Shanghai historic gardens and parks are in a continuous changing to meet various needs. Both preservation and transformation of historic parks should be taken into account in the urban renewal process, for their historical significance not only lies in their cultural relics and historic sites, but also contemporary characteristics from updating. Shanghai Park Management Center attempts to look into the issue and formulate new policies to conserve and manage historical gardens and parks under fast urbanization. This paper introduces 3 research projects in this field conducted by Tongji University recently. One of the projects, Shanghai Historic Park Conservation Research, is dilated. It aims at developing a reasonable registration process, including 6 steps, and ultimately recommends a list of famous historic gardens and parks selected from around 160 existing ones in Shanghai.
