Research On The Urban Development History And Urban Renewal Strategy Of Wuhan Baishazhou Area

Baishazhou is located in the south of Wuchang,within the scope of the main urban area of Wuhan.It is a narrow strip developing along the Yangtze River.Wuchang has been the seat of counties(Xian),prefectures(Fu),department(Zhou),and provinces(Sheng& Lu)in the history of ancient cities.It is a political,military,economic,and cultural center.In early-modern times,as the seat of Governor Yamen and the Revolutionary Revolution of 1911 in Zhang Zhidong’s administration of foreign affairs,it was for the purpose of saving the nation and building a large Wuhan.The modernization of the Baishazhou area has been influenced by nationalist ideas and is reflected in modern urban planning and construction.Baishazhou guards the south gate of Wuhan.As the birthplace of Wuhan dock culture,it has historically been a prosperous area for commerce and transportation.In early-modern times,Baishazhou became a “test field” for Zhang Zhidong to establish a national industry.The development of this area recorded the course of the late Qing Dynasty’s Hubei New Deal and the development of modern industry,the evolution of Wuchang’s late exogenous modernization from passive to active development.The development of the Baishazhou area has laid a material foundation for the development of modern Wuhan city and has won a broad spatial pattern.The development history of Baishazhou is an indispensable part of Wuhan’s urban context,but the relevant research on Wuhan’s urban context is mostly concentrated in Hankou,Wuchang,and Hanyang City.This study has typical value.This article takes Baishazhou area development history as the research object,and examines its development history in the context of political,economic,industrial and social changes.It also analyzes its main driving factors,which reflect the prosperity of Baishazhou’s business culture under the background of ancient natural economy,and the development of early-modern Baishazhou regional urban planning and construction with late-generation exogenous modernization under the influence of nationalism.The characteristics,on the side,corroborate the changes of Wuchang’s urban structure and social culture.This article is divided into 7 chapters,of which Chapter 1 is the introduction,mainly introduces the origin of the subject,the research purpose and significance,and introduces the overseas and domestic research status;Chapter 2、Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are the main parts of the thesis,which introduce the general situation of Baishazhou and the urban development history.Chapter 2mainly introduces the development process of the ancient Baishazhou area under the influence of historical and geographical changes;Chapter 3 mainly explains the urban planning and construction process of Baishazhou under the influence of early-modern nationalism,and puts forward historical stages;Chapter 4 is an explain of development and status of Baishazhou.Chapter 5 summarizes the regional context and development characteristics of Baishazhou.Chapter 6 bases on the regional planning,context and construction status of Baishazhou,summarizes some measures and suggestions for the urban renewal of Baishazhou,and lists the cases that can be referred to.Chapter 7 is a summary of the research and prospects for the future research of Baishazhou.In summary,this study hopes to supplement the research of Wuhan urban history through the study of the regional development history of Baishazhou,and identify the value of the Baishazhou;in addition,this article proposes a brief planning strategy based on local culture,with a view to related planning and construction activities,for providing reference to enhance the attractiveness of the Baishazhou and realize the sustainable development of the region.
