Abstract

The living condition in the traditional residential area is poor. For a long time, residents have continuously transformed the original space according to their own needs, showing a continuous living state, at the same time, forming a complicated and chaotic status quo. Compared with the historical buildings, the living state and block morpho of the traditional residential areas have higher protection value. However, some practices such as reconstruction, removal of aboriginal people and overall commercialization have made it lose authenticity and vitality. Therefore, enhancing spatial vitality is an important aspect in its regeneration.
