Abstract
Many cities have witnessed the rise of urban tourism since 1970s. Nowadays, especially in developing
countries, tourism has become an important industry to initiate employment, boost the economy, and
regenerate urban quarters. Recently, tourism has been included into a comprehensive process of urban
regeneration of historic quarters, and is becoming closely related with other urban planning strategies,
such as conservation and creative industry (Tiesdell et al., 1996, Cunningham, 2002). Many historical
quarters have been transformed into tourist destination with the aim of reviving the economy and
enhancing urban image and culture. However, a short-sighted urban tourism scheme usually raises diverse
negative issues, such as the loss of identity and social cohesion, etc. In recent decades, cities in China
have experienced huge urban changes. As many urban historical quarters were demolished to facilitate
rapid urban development and new city image, many old neighbourhoods were obliterated and their
residents, relocated to fringe areas. This paper presents a comparative study of two cases in China—
Tianzi Fang in Shanghai and the Muslim Quarter in Xi’an. It discusses the alternative approaches to
develop sustainable tourism in urban context: a long-term tourism scheme with an active recycling
process which not only recycles the tangible aspects but also the intangible aspects of the quarter, and that
contributes to a process of sustainable transformation.
