    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. Keywords: Macau, architectural heritage, urban renewal, classification protection mechanism I. INTRODUCTION C. Research purposes Most of the existing literatures focus on the form, A.

  • (WKCD) Development M+ in West Kowloon Cultural District
    WKCD-546 Legislative Council Subcommittee on West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) Development M+ in West Kowloon Cultural District Purpose This paper seeks to give a full account of the proposal to develop a forward-looking cultural institution with museum functions - M+ as a core arts and cultural facility in the West Kowloon Cultural District (“WKCD”). Background 2. In September 2003, the Government launched the “Invitation for Proposals” (“IFP”) for developing WKCD as a world-class arts, cultural, entertainment and commercial district. The IFP had specified a cluster of four museums with four themes (moving image, modern art, ink and design) commanding a total Net Operating Floor Area (“NOFA”) of at least 75 000 m², and an art exhibition centre as Mandatory Requirements of the project. 3. After the IFP for WKCD was discontinued, the Government appointed the Museums Advisory Group (“MAG”) under the Consultative Committee on Core Arts and Cultural Facilities of WKCD in April 2006 to advise on the need for the four museums previously proposed and their preferred themes, the need to include museums with other themes, the scale and major requirements of each museum and the need for and major specifications of the Art Exhibition Centre. MAG’s deliberations process 4. The MAG conducted a public consultation exercise from mid-May to mid-June 2006 to solicit views on the proposed museum in WKCD. During the period, two open public forums, one focus group meeting and three presentation hearings were held apart from wide publicity arranged through advertisements, radio announcements, press release and invitation letters. 28 written submissions and 30 views were received during the consultation period.
