Exploration of an Integrated Planning Approach for Acupuncture-Style TOD to Drive the Renewal of Historic and Cultural Districts

Subway construction not only needs to meet the planning requirements of the respective areas but also plays a crucial role in urban renewal. The conventional TOD model with high-density development is not suitable for the spatial pattern and preservation requirements of historical and cultural street blocks. This paper takes Beijing Subway Line 19 Ping’anli Station as an example and proposes the basic design strategies for the development of underground spaces in historical street blocks using the acupuncture-style TOD model. The focus is on prioritizing quality and demand rather than increasing density and scale. This provides a reference for future updates of underground spaces in historical street blocks.
