Résumé en anglais
This paper uses a case study of Nanchizi precinct toassess the impact of the spirit of hutongs in Beijing. The renewal
of historic precincts rejuvenates old quarters on the one hand, onthe other, it may pose threats not only to the built fabric but also
to the spirit of historic precincts. Hutong is a living culturallandscape in Beijing representing of unique characteristics,
complex historical layers as well as the way of life of its citizens.The recent decade witnesses the renewal of historic precincts in
Beijing, which has greatly changed the historic vernacularlandscape. How to accommodate changes while retain the spirit
of Beijing’s traditional habitat is a question facing the heritagemanagement. This paper argues that continuity and change of the
landscape are inter-related, and that an effective conservationregime needs the enhanced awareness of the history of
interaction between people and place.
