Dashilar Urban Revitalization

 Back to Projects list
Location
Beijing, China
Year
2012

Dashilar, located in the center of Beijing, southwest of Tiananmen Square, covers an area of approximately one square kilometer and has a population of about 70,000 people. With a history of more than 600 years, it is a living fossil of Beijing’s history and culture. As the chief planner for the revitalization of the area, we proposed a soft planning and renewal concept different from large-scale Tabula Rasa development. We aim to activate and improve the cultural and economic environment of the Dashilar area by introducing urban functions that have a positive impact on the community, especially the urban creative groups. Ultimately, we aim to inspire local residents and merchants to participate in co-construction, creating a urban renewal model that involves collaboration among the government, local communities, urban creative groups, urban planners, cultural heritage protection agencies, and investment institutions.
