Protection And Renovation Of Industrial Heritages During The Recombination Of Cities' Industrial Areas

The issue on protection, utilization and renovation of industry heritages is a new subject which becomes attractive to our community recently. For most of those typical modernized and industrialized cities experiencing a period of fast construction, recombination and transference of industrial areas bring a serious problem on the survival and development of original industry heritages. Due to the lack of canonical standards or requirements and the issues on the definition of cultural relics, many of those valuable industry heritages, buildings and related establishments, as eyewitnesses to the history of industrialization and civilization of the country, were not protected enough, resulted in their rapid vanishing from cities.Urged by the need of saving valuable industry heritages, taking the Tanggu county of Tianjin, a typical industrialized city in modern China, as a demonstration, an evaluation system for industry heritages was explored by theoretical research and demonstration systematically, making it scientific, standardized and executable. This system offers scientific method and technical support for the classification, evaluation and definition of various industry heritages. Together with the situation of recombination of industrial areas in the city, corresponding strategies for the protection and renovation can be made by this system, therefore the work can be carried out in a more scientific and ordered way.
