The book explores the tension between rapid urban development and existing heritage in Chinese cities. It provides an analytical framework for urban investigation and design, summarizing traditional principles and the transformation of urban spaces over time. By introducing a theoretical model rooted in Western methodologies, it examines the evolution of urban forms through real case studies, particularly in Nanjing, establishing a connection between urban understanding and design practices.
