Abstract

This paper, from the perspective of visual culture dissemination, defines the core connotations of street photography and urban cultural memory, analyzes the functions of recording, screening, dissemination and reconstruction of street photography in the construction of urban cultural memory, explores the current predicaments such as homogenization and commercialization faced by street photography in memory construction, and proposes targeted practical optimization paths. The research aims to clarify the intrinsic connection between street photography and urban cultural memory, providing theoretical references and practical guidance for the inheritance of urban culture and the strengthening of identity through visual media.
