Abstract

With the country's emphasis on cultural heritage protection and the development of ancient towns, the revitalization of ancient towns along the Eastern Zhejiang Canal has gradually become a social hotspot. As urbanization progresses rapidly and the canal's transportation function weakens, the functional relationship between the ancient towns and the canal has gradually diminished, facing significant challenges for transformation. Taking the integration of cultural context theory and the spatial layout of canal ancient towns as the starting point, this paper extracts the constituent elements of cultural context to form a research framework for the cultural context system of canal ancient towns. It proposes methods to continue the canal's cultural context through the reshaping of ancient townscapes, spatial narrative connections, and cultural industry inheritance. As a result, the goal is to construct canal ancient towns that blend traditional and contemporary elements, harmoniously integrating humans and landscapes. This paper provides new ideas and methods for the spatial renewal research of canal ancient towns in the new era.
