An Qi, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: In the process of urban construction, a historical and cultural context is set up

Zhongxin Online Haihai News, January 20 (Xu Jing, Zhou Zhuo'ao) An Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at East China University of Science and Technology, suggested at the 2022 Shanghai Two Sessions that Shanghai should be in the appropriate position in the newly built blocks in the urban transformation, new block construction, and construction of the five new cities, and that the history and culture of this place should be explained in the form of signs, sign walls, and sign tablets (in a variety of forms), forming a historical context expression, and letting people walk into this place. Not only to see the modern new neighborhood, but also to produce a sense of historical context, culture, and continuity.

Shanghai's history and culture are an important soft power for Shanghai's rapid development. In shanghai' old town transformation, new city construction and other activities, many old buildings, old blocks, suburban villages have been demolished to build new buildings and new blocks, the original history and culture have been completely erased, and the historical context of these places cannot be seen. When people walk into these new buildings, new neighborhoods, and new urban areas, they don't feel the history and culture of the past.

Specifically, Member An Qi suggested that in urban transformation, the construction of new neighborhoods, and the construction of the five major new cities, further attention should be paid to the protection of history and culture. It is not only necessary to determine a number of historical cultures with historical relics value to be protected, but also to start from the details. For all the plots that need to be moved, whether it is the old city or the suburban countryside, we must consider how to be in the appropriate position in the newly built block, sort out the history, architecture, culture, characters, customs and other historical and cultural materials in this place, in the form of signs, sign walls, signs and other forms (the form can be a variety of forms), in the sign to explain the past of this place, including the name of the road should also be produced from the history and culture of these plots, forming a historical context expression, Let people walk into this place, not only to see the modern new neighborhood, but also to produce a sense of historical context, culture, and continuity.

In view of the fact that Shanghai has built a large number and area of new blocks and new roads, and most of these new blocks and new roads have not considered the establishment of historical and cultural signs before the relocation, it is recommended to carry out a combing work on these new blocks established after the reform and opening up, collect and compile historical materials on the past of these plots, and set up them in suitable places in the form of the above signs, sign walls, and sign monuments to form the historical and cultural context of these places.

It is proposed or in a centralized form to display the history of the pre-relocation. For example, the World Expo place, you can set up a separate place, similar to the form of a small exhibition room, may only need to find a room in this area, for the history and culture of the place before the World Expo to introduce, in a picture and text way to introduce, combined with the sand table model, introduce the original style and history. Such a place can be freely visited, so that people who come here can not only see high-rise buildings, but also understand the history and culture of the past, and have a sense of historical accumulation and continuation.
