中新社北京9月23日电 (李紫薇 徐婧)城市持续生长,古老街区、历史建筑如何与当代生活共存?2026北京文化论坛“城市化进程中的古都保护”平行论坛23日举行,来自中国、巴西、法国、西班牙等国专家,围绕历史城市保护、城市更新等议题展开交流。
北京拥有3000多年建城史、870余年建都史,近年来持续推进老城整体保护、历史文化街区更新和文化遗产活化利用。“‘多样性’不仅是政策表述,更是历史本身的面貌。”全国工程勘察设计大师、清华大学建筑学院教授张杰表示,北京中轴线上的钟鼓楼、故宫、天坛等遗产要素跨越多个时期,本身便启示了街区多样性保护的逻辑。
他以中轴线上的钟鼓楼片区和西草红庙片区举例,两个片区一北一南,既承载都城秩序与礼制文化的庄严,也呈现市井商贸与草根生活的蓬勃,共同印证北京历史街区多样性的本质。北京历史街区的保护将在更新实践中探索多样化保护途径,兼顾保护与发展。
联合国教科文组织亚太地区世界遗产培训与研究中心上海分中心特别顾问龙淼(Carolina Castellanos)指出,城市遗产保护正从单体古迹转向整个城市景观,也从“将城市定格在过去”转向管理活态城市的发展变化。“遗产保护的要义已不再是简单说‘不’,而是决定城市应当以何种方式发展。”她强调,应把居民置于保护核心,使其真正成为遗产守护者。
城市化对文化遗产保护带来压力。法国巴黎省建筑与遗产部门负责人弗雷德里克·马斯维尔(Frédéric Masviel)以巴黎东西向历史轴线为例,介绍在城市发展中保护历史空间和景观格局的实践。他表示,这条历史轴线不仅是一条视觉廊道,也连接着不同街区、广场和城市空间。巴黎通过多层次保护体系维护历史环境,同时使相关区域继续适应当代城市生活需求。
东南大学建筑学院教授、亚洲遗产管理学会秘书处秘书长董卫谈到,古都保护的挑战与机遇都来自历史环境与发展空间的融合与互动。无论是中老铁路带来的跨国联动,还是中亚丝路廊道的跨境申遗,都指向一个方向:在快速城市化的时代,单个古都无法独善其身,只有纳入更大的区域发展叙事,保护才能获得持久的资源与共识。当发展与保护走向共融,“活着的古城”才能既守住文明的根脉,又迎向时代的浪潮。
