Renewal of Historic Districts Based on the Perspective of Typo-Morphology-Taking Hongde Lane in Guangzhou as an Example

Over the past 40 years, Chinese cities are undergoing remarkable changes as urbanization and internationalization continue to accelerate. Due to the massive demolition of traditional buildings and the emergence of modern new buildings. Historic cultural cities are gradually losing their own characteristics, and regional homogenization is becoming obvious. How to inherit the tradition and establish the connection between the new form and the traditional form in the midst of the rapid development is the top priority to solve the question. Typo-Morphology pays great attention to the historical evolution of forms, and its application in Europe proves that the development of forms is gradual and closely related to history. However, in order to prove whether the Typo-Morphology approach can be the right remedy to solve the questions faced by Chinese cities, it is necessary to establish a Typo-Morphology approach for Chinese cities, which will provide a reference for the subsequent urban design and urban management in China. Based on the practical problems encountered in the case of Hongde Lane in Guangzhou, this paper explores the ' localization ' application of Typo-Morphology in the protection and renewal of historical streets，and the method is applied to practice.The main contents of this paper are composed of the following aspects : (1) The comparison between the historical and cultural resources and the current environment of Hongde Lane in Guangzhou, and the relationship between the protection and renewal problem and the Typo-Morphology method;(2) Theoretical combing of Typo-Morphology and summary of corresponding methods; (3) Through case analysis, the specific application links and processes of this method are summarized; (4) Through the specific investigation of Hongde Lane in Guangzhou and the adjustment of the hierarchical sequence of Typo-Morphology elements, the application framework of ' localization ' Typo-Morphology is proposed, and the Typo-Morphology analysis method is used to analyze Hongde Lane in Guangzhou ; (5) On this basis, the planning method is applied to formulate urban design guidelines and further promote specific urban design; (6) In the conclusion, the overall research is summarized, and the shortcomings and prospects of the research are put forward. In this paper，it hopes that through the theoretical study of Typo-Morphology, it can supplement the domestic research on Typo-Morphology, and at the same time, it hopes that provide ideas in the localization research, and provide certain suggestions for the renewal and protection of China's historic cultural districts
