Abstract

In the city, by spanning different urban areas with different functions, linear space is formed by connecting material heritage and immaterial heritage, both of which contain some historical and cultural evidence. The central axes and city walls in urban spatial structures are typically linear spaces. How significant is it to protect and construct axes and city walls, which are of great importance in city development, to maintain the urban memory of Beijing? Can protection and construction play a useful role in the conservation of the history and culture of Beijing? These questions are extremely important to the future construction of Beijing. The study of urban memory concerning these two types of “linear space” will be discussed the next two chapters.
