Living Heritage which is delivering the city’s character gene, also plays an important role in maintaining the vitality of the city. However, in the old towns of china, Living Heritage is always associated with aging population, bad infrastructure, complicity of property ownership and poor residents. The urban renewal planning in most cases of China was material-based planning, which focus on increasing the quality of infrastructure and local wealth. Living Heritage hasn’t received enough attention in the process and it was gradually dying. As a result, renewed cities always have an obvious reduction of vitality, personality and humane.udThe complicated situation in Quanzhou West Street is a microcosm of the old towns in China.

With reference to several related cases, we offered a set of innovative strategy combinations to keep Living Heritage living in urban renewal.
