Abstract

The Grand Canal is a miracle of world engineering and one of the most representative world cultural heritages in China. In the second half of the 20th century, due to the serious pollution of the canal industry and the adjustment of the industrial structure brought about by the development of Hangzhou, the Hangzhou section of the canal is facing pollution remediation, and the Coastal space is facing the migration and decline of industrial areas, and is in the transition stage from industrialization to consumption service. Therefore, it is urgent to find a transformation and regeneration mode and build an industrial heritage corridor. In the 1990s, the Hangzhou municipal government carried out a large-scale renovation of the canal, and at the beginning of this century, the coastal industrial heritage, including the protection of historical areas, has made remarkable achievements, but there are still many problems to be solved. Given the demand for the urban renewal in the Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal, this study uses the Qiaoxi Historic District as a case study and applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to establish an evaluation system at four different levels. These levels are: 'overall planning and regulations', 'space and planning', 'format and positioning', and 'building and place'. In addition to that, it aims to establish an analysis and evaluation models for each node that can be used for optimization strategies. Finally, it is applied to the urban renewal of 'place and building' in Qiaoxi Historic District. The evaluation method used in this paper provides not only an important enlightenment and data support for the urban renewal of the Qiaoxi Historic District, but also a methodological guidance for the urban renewal of Hangzhou.
