Summary
A comprehensive theoretical framework for Cultural Routes, including greenway site selection, has been established, significantly advancing heritage protection research. The study focuses on the Grassland Silk Road from Xanadu to Zhongdu, integrating cultural and historical significance with modern conservation strategies. It leverages ICOMOS guidelines and the UNESCO World Heritage Convention to propose a systematic approach for identifying and preserving culturally significant routes. This framework bridges traditional heritage preservation with contemporary urban planning, offering a model for protecting intangible cultural assets alongside tangible ones.
