Abstract

This study aims to solve the contradiction between historical style protection and urban functional upgrading in the process of urban renewal, and explore a scientific and feasible design method for urban renewal and functional repositioning. Methods include literature research, case analysis of typical historical districts at home and abroad, and hierarchical analysis. The research process first combs the core connotation of historical style protection and the theoretical basis of urban functional repositioning, then analyzes the current problems of functional mismatch and style damage in renewal practice, constructs a design framework integrating protection constraints and functional demands, and verifies the rationality of the method through empirical research on specific cases. The results show that the constructed method can effectively balance the protection of historical features and the optimization of urban functions, provide a systematic technical path for the accurate repositioning of district functions, and offer practical reference for the high-quality renewal of historical style districts.
