Research on Place-Making from the Perspective of Healthy City - Take Guangzhou Pantang Village as a Case

Abstract

With the rapid development of cities and in response to the challenges posed to human health by urbanization, the 1980s saw a new connotation given to healthy cities by academics and a global drive to build healthy cities. As the basic unit for implementing the healthy city strategy, place-making has a close relationship with the construction of healthy cities. Based on theories related to healthy cities and place-making, and the changes in urban regeneration models in China and the West, this paper investigates how the place-making approach of Pan Tang Village in Guangzhou has contributed to the healthy urban development. The research finds that by tapping and integrating the community's cultural resources, activating the community's historical spaces and places, while improving community functions and innovating and developing cultural industries, the Pan Tang Village effectively improves the regeneration of the community's living system, forming a rational means of urban regeneration and promoting healthy and sustainable urban development.
