Urban regeneration plays a significant role in optimizing the existing urban infrastructure. With the rise of the digital age, the phenomenon of instant online celebrities has influenced the approach to urban regeneration. A trend has emerged towards focusing on single-space renovations and attracting capital, neglecting the historical context that has shaped the city and the importance of interface regeneration and place-making. This paper takes Shapowei in Xiamen as a case study and examines the special historical elements that have contributed to its spatial evolution, with a particular focus on interface regeneration and place-making. Through literature review and field research, the paper explores the relationship between interface regeneration and place-making in the revitalisation of Shapowei's historical environment, aiming to offer new insights into urban regeneration and the preservation of historical culture.
