The Influence Of Regeneration Of City Historical Core On Urban Spatial Structure And Function: Case Study Of The City Of Nanjing

Abstract
This paper aims to understand the influence of regeneration projects on the spatial structure and urban function of historical city. Nanjing is chosen as the case city. Syntactical analysis of space syntax for the urban space of Nanjing is carried out in three periods with the reference to the urban function. The study results shows that through construction of regeneration projects, Nanjing is increasingly global in its spatial structure and urban function. It also demonstrates that there is strong connection between spatial structure and urban function, therefore urban structure of historical zone should be improved in order to revive its function.
