Abstract:Historic districts face dual challenges amid rapid urbanization: preserving traditional features while meeting modern functional needs. Addressing common issues in Lingnan's historic districts—such as cultural erosion, business homogenization, landscape incongruity, challenges in craft preservation, and ecological neglect—this study examines the Rongdeli District in Guangzhou as an empirical case. Based on an in-depth analysis of its cultural display, spatial texture, and ecosystem, a five-pronged revitalization strategy is proposed, encompassing geo-cultural revitalization, industrial integration, material continuity, technological fusion, and environmental symbiosis. Specific measures include excavating regional culture to create distinctive scenes, preserving traditional architecture while diversifying business formats, translating traditional elements to reconstruct spatial textures, inheriting crafts through modern technologies, and fostering biodiversity by protecting native trees. The application of this strategy in Rongdeli has significantly improved cultural identity, spatial quality, and ecological sustainability.
