Balancing Growth and Preservation: Protection and Management of Nanxun Historic Water Town

Abstract:

Today in the context of contemporary rapid economic and social development many of the Chinese historic sites are being destroyed to make a way for new development, which is resulting in the abrupt disappearance of character and identity of the unique places. Nanxun historic water town is the most representative and unique water town in South of the Yangtze River. This paper analyzes the outstanding universal value of Nanxun historic water town, addresses the factors affecting the town such as development pressures, tourism pressures, and environmental pressures. It proposes the protective strategy for water towns in South of the Yangtze River, so that it can provide the useful experience for other historic sites in China.
