Abstract This study examines the urban regeneration of Jinan City, China, from the perspective of urban acupuncture theory. The purpose is to identify how small-scale, point-based interventions can effectively address the decline of old urban districts while preserving historical and cultural heritage. Methodologically, the research combines literature review, case studies of three representative projects (Olympic Sports Center, Furong Street-Baihuazhou Complex), and resident surveys. The findings demonstrate that urban acupuncture contributes to sustainable regeneration by enhancing functionality, promoting community participation, and respecting local urban contexts. The study highlights the theoretical contribution of adapting urban acupuncture to the Chinese context and provides practical insights for sustainable urban renewal strategies in historic Asian cities.
