In the process of urbanization, the landscapes of urban villages in the Jiangnan region of China face phenomena such as homogenization, superficialization, and hollowing-out, leading to a collective sense of nostalgia for the past. A series of social issues has raised higher demands on the study of design disciplines. This paper focuses on the cultural landscape design of contemporary urban villages in Jiangnan, aiming to reconstruct a landscape context based on cultural memory, in order to transform the widespread sense of nostalgia into a cultural driving force that promotes sustainable development in modern villages and towns, thus addressing the balance between village preservation and rural development, which has profound significance. From the perspective of cultural memory theory, this study draws on research from various disciplines such as folklore, landscape design, and semiotics to examine urban villages. It seeks to explore the problems and cultural significance of the landscape in Jiangnan's urban villages, incorporating these findings into the design of urban village landscapes, with the goal of addressing issues while also contributing to the protection, inheritance, and continuation of the cultural landscape of villages and towns in Jiangnan.
