They said at the Cultural Forum and SEA-Hi! Forum, "Urban renewal is not just a place for internet celebrities to check in" Wang Chong | Xu Jinjiang | SEA
On June 29, the 80th Jiefang Daily Cultural Forum and the 27th SEA-Hi! Forum were held at the South Hall of Shanghai Design Center. Five guests including Chang Qing, Xu Jinjiang, Wu Yue, Liang Yongan, and Wang Chong discussed the theme of "Cultural Empowerment, Urban Renewal".
Chang Qing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongji University, gave a speech entitled "How the regeneration of historical environments can become a cultural driving force for urban renewal". He pointed out that architects should not only design new buildings, but also be "restorers" and "renovators" of old buildings, and "collagers" of the coexistence of old and new buildings. At present, Chinese architects have realized and joined the ranks of adaptive regeneration of historical environments.
Xu Jinjiang, president of the Urban Culture Innovation Research Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and president of Shanghai Culture Magazine, focused on the theme of "Internet celebrity check-in spots and urban space production" at this cultural forum. He believes that Internet celebrity check-in spots are a symbol of the shift in urban development from physicalism to humanism, reflecting the importance of culture in urban space production.
Wu Yue, President of LVMH Greater China and Distinguished Researcher of the Institute of Urban Culture Innovation of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, delivered a speech entitled "On the Warmth of People and Cities". He believes that the charm of Shanghai comes from its humanities, human flows, interpersonal relationships, and human relationships, and the advantages of Shanghai come from its organic growth and rich ecology.
Liang Yongan, a humanities scholar from Fudan University, expressed his views on the construction of urban cultural space from the perspective of human values. He concluded that the survival of Chinese people is shifting from "living" to "living methods", from "settling down" to "establishing a life", and individual values and choices are shifting from standardization to differentiation. The core issue of urban development is to strive to create a new type of public space to integrate physical flow with spiritual and cultural flow.
Wang Chong, Shanghai Director and Global Partner of Hassell International Design Consulting, shared a speech entitled "Cultural Revitalization - The Beauty of Local Places in Urban Spaces". In her opinion, an excellent urban place is a complex ecosystem that combines spatial, functional and emotional characteristics to synergistically release multi-dimensional rather than single experiences, which is the "beauty of local places".
The event was jointly organized by Jiefang Daily and Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Institute. Qin Chang, chief host of SMG Oriental Broadcasting Center, served as the host. Lu Honghua, chairman of Shanghai Bailian Asset Holdings Co., Ltd. and director of Shanghai Bailian Group Co., Ltd., and Xi Dongfan, chief planner of landscape protection and urban renewal and deputy director of Famous City Research Center of Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Institute, participated in the roundtable discussion.
