Résumé (en anglais)

From the mid 12th century, the capitals of the Jin (1115-1234), Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties were built on the same site as today’s Beijing. For over 580 years, the increasing population in Beijing, on the one hand, thrives upon its historical achievements, but on the other causes continuous threats to the Capital’s heritage and other significant historical features in the surrounding region. In the Ming dynasty, the development of the Forbidden City and the Capital went in parallel at the same time. The palaces, altars, offices, storages, temples, houses and markets reflect the key political contents of feudal China. The cultural landscape and townscape of Beijing is the larger setting of the Forbidden City. This paper argues that while the capital faces surmounting pressure in its development, the protection of the Forbidden City’s setting should include the sustainable development of Beijing’s cultural landscape, including the exploration of its cultural implications and maintenance of its architectural aesthetics and significance.
