Why not demolish Qingpu Li Antang?

Because many houses in this area are "first-class general historical buildings".

According to the relevant regulations, if it is a first-class general historical building, it should not be demolished in general, but should be repaired and reused. In addition, their renovation and protection are rules-based, and all demolition is illegal, so the higher authorities stopped and did not dismantle them.

If it needs to be demolished due to special circumstances, it should be considered to retain the distinctive features of the building facade, volume scale and structure, or to rebuild with reference to the original building form, volume, material, color and building method.
