Historic and cultural areas are important carriers of a city's cultural heritage and regional characteristics because of their unique historical and artistic values. The enhancement of the spatial resilience of old historic and cultural areas is an active exploration of how China's old historic and cultural areas can cope with the impact of urbanization, and a positive response to the great importance currently attached to the regeneration of historic and cultural areas in China. At present, the relatively fragile physical and social spaces of most historic and cultural areas in China are unable to cope with the demands of modern lifestyles, which has led to problems of ageing infrastructure, population loss, declining landscape and cultural heritage, resulting in great uncertainty about the development of the community.
