Abstract
Using Suzhou "Double Tower Market" as a case study, this paper takes an anthropological approach to comprehensively analyse the elements and relationships of human involvement in urban renewal and transformation design. The goal is to discover the boundaries of public space design within the research paradigm of anthropology. By exploring how the essence of social space is intertwined with the intrinsic heritage of urban history in a new environmental design context, this paper provides a strong foundation for reflecting on the practical applications of anthropology in reshaping public spaces.
