苏州城墙当适时、逐步、分段恢复修建

2009年对苏州城墙及其遗址的现状进行基础调查，相关数据为：城墙周长（以城墙中线位置量测的总长度）15204．31米；较完整的砖石古城门、古城墙1249．98米（占总长度8．22％）；20世纪80年代以来新修建的城门、城墙204．42米（占总长度1．34％）；城墙残体618．19米（占总长度4．07％）；城墙遗址2359．3米（占总长度15．52％）；受侵扰较严重的城墙遗址161．04米（占总长度1．06％）；已成为绿地、景观的城墙遗址4054．93米（占总长度26．67％）；现已为桥梁、道路覆盖的城墙遗址1005．85米（占总长度6．62％）；占据城墙遗址的各类建筑4639．26米（占总长度30．51％）；现为在建区域的城墙遗址911．34米（占总长度5．99％）。鉴于苏州城墙遗址位置清楚，且相当一段保存基本完好，因而具备恢复修建的基本条件——空间。苏州古域存在内在文化需求、有利因素及不利因素等，因此，苏州城墙当适时、逐步、分段地恢复修建，经若干年、若干届政府和若干代市民的共同努力，最后围成一圈。

The Timely,Gradual and Sectional Restoration of Suzhou Circumvallation

A preliminary investigation of the Suzhou circumvallation and its ruins in the year 2009 reveals the following statistics： The current situation of the ruins based on the research data of Suzhou circumvallation in 2009 is 15, 204.31 meters in perimeter （total length by measuring in the wall midline）; circumvallation with complete ancient bricks, l, 249.98 meters （accounting for 8.22% of the total length）; newly-built walls since the 1980s, 204.42 meters （1.34% of the total）; wall remnants, 618.19 meters （4.07% of the total）; the ruins of the city wall, 2, 359.3 meters 05.52% of the total）; seriotlsly intruded ruins, 161.04 meters （1.06% of the total）; ruin-converted green belts and landscape, 4, 054.93 meters （26.67% of the total）; ruins covered by bridges or roads, 1, 005.85 meters （6.62% of the total）; ruins occupied by various buildings, 4, 639.26 meters （30.51% of the total）; ruins under restoration, 911.34 meters （5.99% of the total）. As the ruins of Suzhou circmnvallation have distinct locations and a considerable part is under sound protection, the restoration enjoys the prerequisite of space. Considering the internal cultural needs of the ancient city proper and the pros and cons of the circumvallation, the Suzhou circumvallation is to undergo timely, gradual and sectional restoration. With years of efforts by sessions of governments and generations of citizens, the Suzhou circumvallation should take on its original circle.
