Abstract

Land plots are widely recognised as an essential conservation element of historic cities. However, theprotection of plot pattern was in a long time neglected in Chinese urban conservation. China’s historic cities have experienced drastic transformation since the socialist revolution of 1949, resulting in a fundamental change in traditional urban forms. Based on historic institutionalism theory, the research explores the transformation of protection of plot pattern in Nanjing, a typical Chinese historic city. According to the changes of main institutions, including land development system, regulatory planning system and conservation planning system, the changing roles of plot in urban conservation can be divided into three stages. The three main attributes of plot, including a morphological element, a control unit of land use and a unit of property, have different performances in each stage. However, a path dependence has been formed through the institutional transformations.
