What if the old house is not demolished?

How to deal with the old houses that will not be demolished is a very important problem, especially in the process of urbanization today, many old houses are facing the pressure of demolition and transformation. However, if we can find suitable ways to deal with these old houses, we can effectively protect the historical heritage and urban context.

First of all, we can consider transforming these old houses into cultural heritage or museums for the audience to enjoy. This will not only protect the historical heritage, but also let more people know about these historical cultures. For example, the Jiming Temple in Nanjing is a good example. It transformed its old house into a museum and successfully attracted a large number of tourists.

Secondly, we can also consider transforming these old houses into public service facilities, such as libraries, elderly activity centers, community activity rooms and so on. This can meet the needs of social public services and realize the cultural enjoyment of the city. This practice is very successful in many international cities, such as the "Second-hand Store Public Library" in new york.

Finally, if the architectural structure of these old houses can be effectively protected, we can also consider transforming them into hotels, homestays and other tourist facilities, so that tourists can enjoy the city context and get a better accommodation experience. This will not only bring more cultural tourism benefits to the city, but also realize the organic integration of culture and tourism.

In short, there are many ways to deal with the old houses after they are no longer demolished. We need to explore and choose methods suitable for our own cities, history and culture to protect and inherit them, so as to realize the sustainable development of cities.
