This thesis explores the comparative analysis of People's Park and Xinglong Lake Park in Chengdu, China, focusing on their roles in urban memory, cultural significance, and contemporary urban planning. People's Park, established in 1911, is a historical landmark deeply embedded in Chengdu's cultural heritage, serving as a vibrant social and cultural hub. Conversely, Xinglong Lake Park, inaugurated in 2016, epitomizes modern urban planning and ecological sustainability within the rapidly developing Tianfu New Area. Through a detailed examination of both parks' locations, accessibility, historical significance, size, layout, facilities, activities, environmental features, and social impacts, this study elucidates how these urban spaces contribute uniquely to Chengdu's identity. Furthermore, the thesis discusses the balance between preserving historical and cultural heritage while meeting modern urban needs, offering insights into sustainable urban development. The findings underscore the dynamic interplay between historical preservation and contemporary innovation, emphasizing the importance of integrating these elements to enrich the urban experience for current and future generations.
