Urban memory is a crucial catalyst for shaping the spirit of urban spaces. This study focuses on the old neighborhoods in Jiaozuo's Jiefang District. It analyzes urban memory from four angles: the people who hold the memories, the ways memories are preserved, the key elements of memory, and the emotions tied to these memories. It then sums up the key elements and patterns of urban memory. The study proposes ways to refresh the old neighborhoods, aiming to protect and carry forward urban memory in Jiaozuo's Jiefang District and offer new ideas for urban renewal.
