尊重过去唯一的道路，就是成就真实的当代之作。

L'unico modo per rispettare il passato è realizzare un vero lavoro contemporaneo.

—— Carlo Alberto Scarpa

随着城市的扩张和发展，老城区的命运也面临转折。近年来，社会对于历史文化的保护和城市更新的重视，使得银行街这一承载了诸多历史故事的片区，通过可持续发展的设计改造，重新变成城市发展的一部分。

As the city expands and develops, the fate of the old city faces a turnaround. In recent years, society's emphasis on historical and cultural preservation and urban renewal has led to the transformation of Bank Street, a district that carries many historical stories, back into a part of the city's development through sustainable design and renovation.

片区历史

苏州盛泽明清时盛泽已是“日出万绸、衣被天下”，成为中国四大绸都之一，到达民国更是成为周边区域丝绸流通中心。丝绸交易旺盛，市场繁荣，有“小上海”之称。工商业的兴旺刺激了金融业的发展。民国 11 年 (1922 年 )3 月，中国银行嘉兴分行在盛泽分设办事处，门前的街名命名为银行街，且一直沿用至今。

Area History

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shengze, Suzhou, was already a “sunrise of ten thousand silks, clothing the world” and became one of the four major silk capitals in China, and in the Republic of China, it became a center for the distribution of silk in the surrounding area. The silk trade was robust, the market was prosperous, and it was called “Little Shanghai”. The prosperity of industry and commerce stimulated the development of the financial industry. Republic of China 11 years (1922) in March, the Bank of China Jiaxing Branch in Shengze branch office, the street in front of the name of the street named Bank Street, and has been used until now.

现状情况

银行街名人故居云集，承载了盛泽各阶段历史的缩影，片区素有 72.5 巷弄的传名，巷弄多，且有些为单向尽端道路。虽不符合现代城市发展的要求，但是具有历史古城的特色和记忆。建筑整体分为粉墙黛瓦的名人故居、传统民居，以及近现代多层砖混楼房。传统民居多为1-2层砖木结构，因年代久远，部分为结构危房。巷道中居民自行搭建的简易雨棚、空调外机，加重了街道环境的杂乱无序，也影响了原本的风貌。

Current Situation

Bank Street is home to many former residences of celebrities, carrying the epitome of Shengze's history at various stages. The district is known as the 72.5 alleys, with many alleys and some one-way dead-end roads. Although it does not meet the requirements of modern urban development, it has the characteristics and memories of a historical ancient city. The overall architecture is divided into celebrity residences with white walls and black tiles, traditional residences, and modern multi-storey brick-concrete buildings. Traditional residences are mostly 1-2-storey brick-wood structures. Due to their age, some are dangerous structures. The simple awnings and air-conditioning units built by residents in the alleys have aggravated the disorder of the street environment and affected the original style.
