    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 471 Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Architecture: Heritage, Traditions and Innovations (AHTI 2020) Protection and Recycling of Architectural Heritage in Macau's Urban Renewal Lier Mi1,* 1City University of Macau, Macau, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The era of rapid urban development requires effective protection and reuse of urban architectural heritage. Urban renewal aims to replace the decaying physical space with new urban functions, while respecting and protecting the architectural heritage. In the stage of rapid urban development in Macau, architecture, as a good cultural carrier, carries a collective memory. In the early stage of urban development, Macau has paid attention to the protection of architectural heritage and established a classification protection system through a series of practical explorations. This paper takes the practice of protection and reuse of architectural heritage in Macau as the research object and discusses how to effectively use and protect architectural heritage, so as to provide reference materials for the study of architectural heritage protection in Macau and promote the effective protection and utilization of architectural heritage in the context of urban renewal.

  • About Wynn Resorts
    About Wynn Resorts About Wynn Resorts Stephen A. Wynn, the founder of Wynn Resorts, Limited, is the preeminent designer, developer and operator of Integrated Resorts globally. Wynn Resorts owns and operates two Integrated Resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada and three in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”). The Wynn development team envisions, designs, and builds boldly conceived Integrated Resorts that set progressively higher standards for quality, guest service and entertainment and that transformed their markets from “gaming-only” locales to diversified global tourist destinations. Wynn Integrated Resorts seamlessly integrate sophisticated architecture, luxurious interior design, and a diverse selection of amenities, including fine-dining restaurants, premium-retail offerings, a full range of 24-hour games, convention facilities, and live-performance venues. The result: unique experiences for guests of the highest quality. Guided by the simple truth that, “Only people can make people happy,” Wynn employees are devoted to delivering the Wynn promise of always exceeding guest expectations. For 40 years, resorts led by the Wynn development team have been the employer of choice in their markets. An Unparalleled Record of Market Transformation As Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated, Mr. Wynn opened The Mirage, Las Vegas’ first true Integrated Resort, in 1989. The Mirage, at that time the most expensive casino in the history of Las Vegas, was an instant success, breaking all Las Vegas records for profitability and for the first time generated more non-gaming revenue than gaming revenue for a Las Vegas resort. The Mirage not only established the concept of an Integrated Resort but also broadened the global appeal of Las Vegas, triggering an immediate $12 billion city-wide investment boom that made Las Vegas the number one tourist destination in the world.

Unfortunately, the president and other committee members were away in Auckland and could not attend. The president and other committee members had travelled to Auckland to participate in the unveiling of the memorial to the 499 Chinese men whose bodies were lost at sea off the coast of Hokianga when the ship transporting their remains sunk at sea there. The ceremony was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and will be re-announced at a later date. The annual Easter Tournament organised by the New Zealand Chinese Association was held in Wellington this year (every four years) and the Association was asked to help in the canteen at the ASB arena in Kilbirnie where the tour- nament was held.
