Abstract：The concept and integrity conservation method of the historic urban landscape, which is designed to deal with the large-scale development pressures that historic sites are facing with, has positive implications for "fragmented" and "island-type" problems of historic sites conservation in China. The paper analyzes the relationships between history and development, cultural and natural value, historical heritage and its background environment based on the perspective of integrity. Structural relatedness and historical readability is emphasized. Taking Jaxing Zicheng Relic Park as an example, the paper firstly evaluates integrity of Zicheng historic site based on correlativity. Secondly it integrates historical patterns, spatial scales and features based on readability. Thirdly, it promotes public openness of historic site. Besides, the conservation of Zicheng site should be taken into account with urban systems. Last but not least, a dynamic preservation system is built combining with a series of construction and development operations.
