Cultural Characterization Of Urban Blocks And Collaborative Development With Local Cultural Industries: A Case Study Of Nanjing Laomendong

Abstract

The meta-analysis aims to explore the cultural profiling of urban blocks and how collaboration with local cultural industries is developed, with respect to the urban block in Nanjing Laomendong. Based on 22 empirical studies, the research outlines three dominant block typologies: Heritage-Preserved, Commercial-Hybrid, and Creative-Industrial and compares and contrasts their performance with the bases of cultural synergy index, tourist expenditure (income), enterprise concentration and occupation stakeholder involvement. It is observed that commercial hybrid blocks and community-led governance models have the best score for cultural industry success. The regression analysis passes the test that stakeholder inclusivity and the density of cultural programming identified by cluster are potent predictors of success. In turn, cluster analysis classifies the blocks into high-, medium, and low-performing characterizations. Laomendong presents itself as a frontrunner in the spatial-economic-cultural amalgamation. The results can lead to the discussion of urban cultural planning in the direction of a more participatory structure, adaptive reuse, and a long-term cultural activation approach to strengthen urban environments and create socially inclusive, culturally thriving cities.
