Currently,　the　role　of　culture　in　urban　competitiveness　is　becoming　increasingly　important.　How　historic　cities　identify　and　protect　the　spatial　structures　formed　since　ancient　times,　which　are　the　carriers　of　urban　culture,　has　become　an　important　issue.　Fuzhou　was　awarded　the　first　Global　Sustainable　Development　City　in　2023,　indicating　that　it　has　a　set　of　sustainable　models　that　can　be　promoted　in　various　aspects,　including　cultural　sustainable　development　models.　As　a　traditional　way　to　show　the　spirit　of　cities,　cultural　spaces　in　Fuzhou　have　existed　for　2200　years,　which　helps　us　to　conduct　systematic　research.　This　study　explores　the　role　of　multiple　actors　in　the　preservation　and　development　of　urban　cultural　spaces,　using　Fuzhou,　China,　as　a　case　study.　Employing　historical　atlas　translation　to　extract　lists　and　locations　of　cultural　spaces,　and　GIS　technology　to　display　spatial　patterns,　our　research　reveals　distinctive　spatial　distribution　characteristics　of　various　cultural　spaces　and　the　urban　structure　shaped　by　diverse　stakeholders’　needs.　Our　findings　illustrate　the　background　and　distribution　pattern　of　cultural　space　construction　by　multi-actors　in　different　periods,　offering　references　for　maintaining　contemporary　urban　spatial　structure　and　insights　into　the　sustainable　preservation　of　urban　cultural　heritage.　©　2023　by　the　authors.
