Abstract
The problematic relationship between protection and development in urban renewal has emerged as an urgent issue. The system of “three-dimensional city” aims to solve this problem and explores the reconstruction design of historic blocks in Jianghan Rd in the Li Fen District of Wuhan as a case study. First, this paper examines the “mixing block” framework for building an activation system wherein urban nodes connect historic buildings or blocks to adjacent residential, cultural, educational and commercial buildings. Then, the “three-dimensional city strategy” is selected as the operation strategy for the activation system. The multi-dimensional green space connects old and new buildings and creates a three-dimensional urban public space. Last, the parallel using and sharing mode is established as the operating mode of the activation system. During the gradual development and evolution of the city, areas with shorter heights have service systems which are independent from areas with taller heights. These independent systems can interact to create shared space and produce an efficiently operated city.
