In the waves of city construction, historic districts in numbers of cities experienced tract development or reconstruction through “demolition and reconstruction”. This kind of “top to bottom” reconstruction and transformation homogenized several historic districts whose diversity of historical outlooks and social structure was ruined, during which particular social conflicts were created. With the increasing awareness of historic districts reservation and voluntary participation, governments and developers started valuing the reservation and utilization of material and cultural essences of historic districts, at the same time, the public began getting involved in the protective activities and non-governmental organizations to participate in the process of protecting and renovating of historic districts. However, limited as the ways of public participation and technological support, the public participation of historic districts reservation in China is still underdeveloped. Meanwhile, related researches mainly adopting measures of case analysis and experimental practice are lack of mechanism and platform researches on public participation.With popularization of equipment like Smartphone, people can collect information and intercommunication through new-media channels as We Chat, Weibo or other Apps. Subjects including governments, design institutions and developers are trying to invite the public participate in the historic culture reservation and district development by constructing new-media platforms. Therefore, in the data era, approaches of leading and organizing social resources turns into the key point in reserving and developing of historic districts.Building on the theoretical conceptions of public participating in reservation of historic districts, this thesis analyzed and concluded the approaches and mechanisms of public participation in reservation and renovation of historic districts through comparative research on cases of relevant cases. Combining characters of the platform, approaches of public participation in data era with the idea of “crowd-funding”, this thesis studied the composition and contents of the platform of public participation in reservation and renovation of historic districts putting forward a construction strategy “lead by governments and constructed by crowd-funding”. In addition, taking Tan Hualin Historic District as an example, this thesis created a construction model of public participation platform of Tan Hualin Historic District reservation to promote the process of historic protection and renovation in Tan Hualin Historic District through analysis and summary of the development status and related resources of public participation.
