Topic: Research on the Adaptive Reuse Potential of Industrial Heritage in the View of Urban Renewal

Abstract: How to maximize the existing industrial buildings through transformation and utilization and promote the development of urban areas has become a problem that cannot be ignored. Compared with the value research in the traditional sense, the research on the reuse potential of industrial heritage is more helpful to measure the specific intervention time of industrial heritage and guide the overall strategy of transformation and reuse in urban renewal. The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively sort out the existing evaluation of the adaptive reuse potential of industrial heritage at home and abroad. Through the discussion of the evaluation of the reuse potential, and in view of the problems existing in the existing research and the characteristics of the potential evaluation indicators at different levels, an evaluation indicator system is found to discuss the reuse potential of industrial heritage from the perspective of urban areas, providing new ideas for the evaluation of the reuse potential and determining the transformation time sequence, so as to better guide the problems faced by industrial heritage in urban renewal.
