Abstract

The intricate interplay between human economic and social constructs and the cultural milieu engenders a multifaceted and dynamic ecosystem. Within the perpetual evolution of nascent economic urban centres, cultural ecology underscores the imperative of harmonizing and mutually reinforcing economic frameworks with cultural landscapes. This investigation advances a novel conceptual framework delineating the economic-cultural interplay within contemporary Chinese burgeoning urban landscapes, particularly emphasizing the sustainability of cultural ecology. Pioneering in its approach, this research offers a groundbreaking analysis unprecedentedly through the prism of museums. The findings elucidate that museums exhibit remarkable adaptability to emerging urban economic paradigms, thereby catalyzing the enhancement of cultural ecosystems and emerging as verdant bastions fostering the endurance of urban cultural landscapes.
