The formation and value of the “New Beijing” urban spatial structure from the perspectiveof planning heritage (1949-1965) |

Abstract: |
Political system changes often bring new urban theories and planning ideas, forming
new ways of spatial organization. After the establishment of Beijing as the capital of the People’s
Republic of China, how to achieve the transformation from “feudal imperial capital” and “consumer
city” to a “socialist capital” is an important issue that the new regime needs to face. As a result,
Beijing underwent a large-scale and profound urban reconstruction movement, forming a new urban
spatial structure on the basis of Ming Qing Beijing and early-modern Beiping.
Recent years, research on spatial cultural heritage from a holistic and interconnected
perspective has gradually received attention. Faced with the large-scale urban heritage environment,
heritage conservation experts have begun to attach importance to the planning and design value of
heritage. However, the visibility of planning in the existing heritage system is still insufficient, and
the value of planning has not been systematically discussed. Western planning theorists expand
the connotation of built heritage to planning heritage by analyzing its planning characteristics and
unique position in planning history. On the basis of existing value recognition, they explore and
emphasize the distinctive planning value. In China, the concept of planning heritage first appeared at
the Urban Planning History and Theory Annual Conference held in Lanzhou in September 2019. The
conference is open for submissions under the theme of “Historical Thinking and Planning Heritage”.
The attending experts believe that introducing the concept of planning heritage can help expand the
path and perspective of research on built heritage.
The first question to be answered in conducting research on planning heritage: what conditions
must be met in order to be recognized as planning heritage? Based on current research, this article
believes that planning heritage should possess the following three characteristics simultaneously:
reflecting planning wisdom, being put into planning practice, and forming built-up space. The reason
why the urban spatial structure of "New Beijing" can become a typical planning heritage can also
be explained based on this: firstly, in terms of planning wisdom, the socialist planning method was
formed in the early stage of New China with reference to the Soviet experience, which is significantly
different from ancient and early-modern times. Secondly, putting it into practice is an important
criterion for assessing heritage planning. In the 1950s, Soviet planning experts proposed a series
of urban renovation plans that included overall layout, key areas, blocks, and other levels. Thirdly,
planning heritage requires leaving spatial imprints and forming tangible material spatial carriers.
After 1949, socialist urban planning applied to cities, and the new Beijing underwent significant
changes in structure, pattern, texture, and style.
The urban spatial structure of “New Beijing” is a typical planning heritage. Unfortunately, such
heritage has long been hidden in urban spaces and obscured by architects’ architectural heritage
works. The “20th Century Architectural Heritage” list released by the Chinese Society of Cultural
Relics and the Chinese Architectural Society includes multiple construction achievements of Beijing
in the 1950s and 1960s. However, its heritage recognition revolves around individual buildings and
does not cover urban scale heritage elements such as grids, axes, and public spaces.Based on the perspective of planning heritage, this article traces the formation process of urban spatial structural elements such as Tiananmen Square, the northsouth
central axis, the east-west Chang’an Avenue, Jiefang style residential areas, and urban parks in the “New Beijing”, restoring the authenticity and integrity of spatial
construction history. On this basis, the value of planning heritage is excavated from historical, scientific, aesthetic, social and other aspects, and it is believed that the
urban spatial structure of “New Beijing” witnesses the process of Beijing’s transformation into a “socialist capital”. It reflected the diverse influence mechanism of
planning decisions, formed a distinctive spatial pattern and order, and carried the early social life and collective memory of the People’s Republic of China.
Planning heritage is a new topic emerging in the field of heritage protection in China, and relevant researches have made certain progress in conceptual
definition and theoretical exploration. This article is an empirical study based on the planning history, focusing on the planning wisdom in the constructing
process, from the perspective of planning heritage, it explains the value of the urban spatial structure of “New Beijing”. This case study shows that
introducing the perspective of planning heritage to analyze the urban spatial structure of “New Beijing” can help further enrich the understanding and
cognition of the connotation of heritage from a holistic and interrelated perspective. The planning heritage analysis method that integrates the characteristics
of the planning discipline can further enrich and supplement the existing cultural heritage system from the perspective of spatial relationships such as
structure, pattern, and axis. In addition, this article constructs a method for analyzing the formation process and value cognition of heritage elements in
planning, in order to demonstrate the significance of planning as a form of heritage. |
