Abstract

The Nanjing Circumvallation has been severely damaged due to natural factors, human interference, and urban expansion. Restoring this edifice serves not only as a preservation of historikcal and cultural values, but also as an advancement towards sustainable urban development. This research proposes an environmental ethical decision-making model (EEDM) grounded in sustainable urban development indicators. The model is then applied to the restoration of the Nanjing Circumvallation. Based on feedback from the research trial section, the renovation of the Circumvallation trial segment, guided by the EEDM, effectively embodies the core principles of sustainable urban development. By extending this model to the entire restoration project, it is feasible to achieve a harmonious balance between heritage preservation and urban sustainability. This methodology offers a novel framework for the restoration of similar heritage sites, ensuring the concurrent achievement of conservation and sustainable development goals. Furthermore, this approach holds considerable promise for fostering sustainable urban progression.
