As a non renewable resource, urban architecture is the carrier of spreading urban history and culture. In recent years, Tianjin has fully exploited the economic value and historical and cultural value of historic buildings. Xu Lianhe, executive deputy director and senior engineer of the office of buildings with historical features in Tianjin, said that since 1999, the Tianjin municipal government has started the work of protecting and utilizing historic blocks and buildings with historical features in line with the principle of "repairing the old as before".

In order to better protect and develop the existing cultural relics and historical buildings, the government's plan to invest in the construction of Tai'an road "British style area" will be officially launched in March this year.
