Abstract
This thesis explores the government to promote Sanxia and Shenkeng historic streets reconstruction project presented similar results. We can see a particular space was built and remodeling. It is related to the interests of social groups, operation of power relations, and Professionalism. Accordingly, we adopt the STS（science and technology studies）theory, concern the interaction between technology（such as specifications, materials, methods, organization, knowledge, etc.）, society, and technology in the political process.
Analysis of the structure, this thesis explores the space production process of historic street, technology as a representation tool. Through standard criteria, professionalism and restoration aspect, explore the technological politics. In addition, we also concern the state system, why should people obey the dominator or how to adapt themselves.
The results showed that, in standard operation procedures, systematic engineering quality, and hierarchical organization and management, shaping a specific spatial patterns of consistency; secondly, among the experts have different values, there are different techniques, shaping the specific spatial order. Although professionals cooperate with each other, have their own consideration of benefit and interest, affecting the essence of space and usage patterns.
On the other hand, under the regulatory norms, people develop a variety of techniques to avoid regulation, can temporarily get rid of regulatory powers: to show themselves, to construct a space form and usage patterns, differ from specifications. However, dominator still hold the power to govern, people’s resistance is because they are in a controlled environment, they must make acts.
At historic street reproduction process, different groups pursuit their own benefits and interests through technical skills. However it could be one form of multiple power compete for the space.Maybe we still can look forward to historic streets reconstruction, as a public space, to construct society/residents subjectivity, contain different culture.
