Post-Industrial Landscapes: dereliction or heritage?

Abstract

The idea of sustainable development is more frequently associated with natural environment protection than with preservation of the built and heritage. However it is widely acknowledge that the values connected with sustainable development are significant for people's daily environment and the built and heritage are an integral part of it. Cultural values need to be determined, meaning given to elements of the city, its importance identified and exceptional sites highlighted. This fact added to the necessity of reusing abandoned industrial landscapes in detriment of consuming new ones, increases the need to enlarge the interpretation of the term cultural heritage, to analyse and interpret the value and significance of post- industrial landscapes and to develop new mechanisms to preserve it. This paper presents a set of design principles that might be applied to a specific post-industrial landscape that possess and social value (the left margin to the Arade River). These principles describe in a general manner the ways in which relevant resources created by the industrial era can be enhanced and rehabilitated.
