The research is aiming to understand how Suzhou's urban form was
transformed during the Socialist period. It spans from the founding of the
People's Republic of China in 1949 to 1986 when planning and practices
of urban conservation were first initiated with the announcement of the
national law for conservation, with Suzhou then identified then as one of
the nation's historic and cultural cities. Current research and literature
on urban form in Suzhou indicates, however, that this period has been
less discussed and there is a significant lack of information on the city's
urban history.
