Abstract

The rapid development of a city can be reflected in its culture, social formation and industries. As the most distinguishing trait, cultural landmarks bear the memory of the city, set off its development and carry forward the spirit of the place. Cultural landmarks, the key point of urban spatial structure, are also the important display of urban image and the unique embodiment of its history. As a result, cultural landmarks work as the significant medium for people to recognize and identify the city. In the meantime, they are also a vital reminder of their cities. This thesis will take Tianjin as an instance to analyze the relationship between urban development and the memory of cultural landmarks. Comparing with cultural landmarks in other Chinese cities, the author will analyze the impact of cultural landmarks on urban development and combine their system with the nature and humanity of the cities, constructing a more city-specific memory of cultural landmarks which enriches people’s spiritual life. As the outcome of urbanization, cultural landmarks constantly exude the city’s historical flavor, making the city’s unique temperament be inherited, thus further promoting the city’s economic development and enhancing the city’s cultural identity.
