ABSTRACT: Tianjin Street is the most well-known traditional commercial street in
Dalian. Since its establishment in 1909, it has witnessed the development of
Dalian for more than a hundred years. In the 1980s, Tianjin Street became the
busiest commercial street in Dalian. However, under the influence of factors such
as the development of the Internet economy, adjustments to the transportation
system and development of surrounding commercial districts, Tianjin Street’s
prosperity gradually declined. In order to revitalize Tianjin Street and
promote the development of its commercial district and restore its prosperity,
everyone from government officials to citizens and tourists hopes to see it
renewed and transformed once again. Based on a survey of current conditions on
Tianjin Street in Dalian City and using Python to analyze issues such as historical context, built environment
and commercial layout on Tianjin Street in Dalian City, this study proposes
corresponding renewal strategies and methods such as adjusting public
spaces and changing business ratios with the aim of making it a vibrant
commercial street once again. The results of this study will provide valuable
references for urban commercial street development.
