Digital Twins Method for Protecting and Revitalizing the Urban Historic and Cultural Heritage of Suzhou Ancient City
In pursuit of the protection and revitalization China's cultural heritage,and in alignment with President Xi Jinping's vision to"bring more cultural relics and heritage to life and create a strong social atmosphere for the continuation of Chinese civilization",the digital twins method emerges as a new tool and platform to achieve these goals.Based on the establishment of Suzhou CIM+Ancient City Pro-tection and Renewal Platform,this paper assesses the practical challenges faced by Suzhou Ancient City and explicates the theoretical and technological foundations of digital twins.It proposes the development of a digital twins architecture for Suzhou Ancient City,a technology system that features scenario-based digital reproduction,value recognition,deductive decision-making,and comprehensive governance.with the spatial coding system,distributed architecture,real-time response simulation,and human-computer flexible interaction driven by the latest technology.The method holds promise in resolving the conflict between the protection and regeneration of historic cities and attaining sustainability for Suzhou Ancient City.The paper also ex-plores the future prospects of further digitalizing traditional construction techniques,traditional life styles,and traditional cultural values of Suzhou Ancient City.The re-search provides a valuable method for protecting and revitalizing urban historical and cultural heritage,with implications extending beyond Suzhou to achieve sophisticated and high-quality preservation of future cities.
