中国城市保护的研究和实践都面临着巨大的挑战，但关于城市保护的研究相对较少。它从20世纪20年代早期的关注单个遗址和建筑发展到20世纪世纪末的关注整个历史城市和城市中相当大的历史区域。然而，一个主要的缺陷是，形态发生和分析方法在很大程度上缺乏。个别建筑的保护与这些建筑所处的更广泛的历史地理环境的欣赏联系不大。一种由M. R. G. Conzen提供了一种纠正这一缺陷的方法，迄今为止，它在欧洲的应用很大程度上受到限制。本文以北京某历史街区为例，说明了这种方法的可行性。它展示了如何理解城市地区作为历史地理实体可以加强保护的理论基础。
Relatively little has been written about urban conservation in China, despite the fact that it is facing great challenges in both research and practice. It developed from a focus on individual sites and structures in the early 1920s to a concern with entire historic cities and sizeable historical areas within cities by the end of the twentieth century. A major defect, however, is that morphogenetic and analytical approaches are largely lacking. Conservation of individual buildings is poorly connected to appreciation of the wider historico-geographical environments in which those buildings are located. A morphological approach of a type developed by M. R. G. Conzen, hitherto largely limited in its application to Europe, provides a means of rectifying this defect. This approach is illustrated by an examination of a historical area in Beijing. It demonstrates the way in which an understanding of urban areas as historico-geographical entities can strengthen the theoretical basis of conservation.
