Out of the Dilemma: Industrial Heritage Value Evaluation and Renewal Suitability Research in Chengdu, China

Abstract

The remains of industrial culture have been in place for hundreds of years and have gradually become the object of research for heritage protection and renewal. To assist in value assessment and planning for the reuse of urban industrial heritage, we built a concept model for value evaluation and renewal suitability evaluation based on the characteristics of the industrial heritage and by consulting experts. In addition, according to the characteristics of the evaluation index, we adopted a calculation of mixed qualitative and quantitative criteria and reasonably allocated weights. Thirty industrial heritage sites in the urban area of Chengdu, China, were selected as case studies; the results showed that there were clear differences in the value and renewal suitability of the industrial heritage sites. This study determined an evaluation model for the protection and reuse of industrial heritage and laid the foundations for future practical work. In addition, the Chengdu Industrial Heritage Database was constructed, to provide guidance on industrial heritage planning for decision makers.
