Based on in-depth fieldwork and 61 semi-structured interviews with shop owners, residents, and new immigrants, this book presents how a traditional urban street negotiates between continuity and transformation in the context of globalization, tourism, and urban redevelopment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis book adopts a qualitative, bottom-up approach to reconstruct the living memory of the street. Rather than treating oral history merely as a documentary record, it systematically analyzes narratives through the procedures of open, axial, and selective coding. From over one thousand initial codes, the author derives a conceptual framework of \u003cem\u003elocal commercial cultural resilience\u003c\/em\u003e, illuminating how individual experiences, spatial cognition, and collective memory converge to sustain the identity of Camp Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Xin Hu\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Innovation Design, City University of Macau.
